There are no major concerns over setbacks on Garcia's rehabilitation schedule at this stage, but reports from Diario AS claim club sources have indicated Flick and the medical staff are opting for caution.
That would put his absence period at around four weeks, and there are no plans for Flick to bring in another goal keeper in January if Garcia relapses at any point, as he's happy with Livakovc and veteran stopper Wojciech Szczesny in Catalonia.
