New Delhi, Sept. 27 -- Barcelona will be without Raphinha and new goalkeeper Joan Garcia for weeks due to injuries.

Garcia has started every game since transferring from Espanyol this summer but has hurt the meniscus in his left knee and will require arthroscopic surgery, the defending La Liga champion said on Friday.

Barcelona expects Garcia to be sidelined for four to six weeks. Spanish media reports said he was injured while training on Friday.

Raphinha will be out for an estimated three weeks after hurting his right hamstring, according to the club.

The Brazil forward, who was key to Barcelona winning the league and Copa del Rey last season, appeared to be hurt on Thursday in its 3-1 win at Oviedo.
