Ter Stegen will not return to Barcelona's starting lineup

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will not return to the team's starting lineup anytime soon. Despite his recovery from injury, the German goalkeeper remains sidelined, with Joan García continuing as the first-choice keeper for the Blaugrana.

According to reports from the sports press, this situation is not expected to change in the near future: the Spanish goalkeeper will feature in both La Liga and UEFA Champions League matches. Meanwhile, Ter Stegen will need to compete for the role of main backup goalkeeper alongside Wojciech Szczesny.

However, the 33-year-old captain of the Catalan giants may soon return to action in official games. Head coach Hans-Dieter Flick is likely to field him in the Copa del Rey Round of 32 match against Deportivo Guadalajara.

The match is scheduled to take place on Tuesday. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
