(SabaSports) Two Spanish defenders, Kubasi and Eric Garcia, will return to Barcelona for training on August 11 after winning the men’s gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, according to Sport World. Both players have already enjoyed a holiday ahead of the Olympics, giving them little time to recover and will go straight into Barca’s preparations for the new season.
Kubasi and Eric Garcia are both seen as important players for Barcelona this season and coach Frick has confirmed they will stay for the new season. Kubasi will be one of the eight central defenders, while Eric Garcia has been linked with a loan move but has opted to stay at Barca. The two formed a solid defensive partnership in Paris, helping Spain win the gold medal.
In addition, Fermin-Lopez will be given a few days off and will not return to training immediately. Kubasi and Eric Garcia have signed contracts until 2027 and 2026 respectively and will continue to play for Barcelona in the new season.
