German national keeper
Further far away from the team: ter Stegen’s solo preparation
Day three: Again Marc-André Ter Stegen is not in the team training of FC Barcelona. Not only the shoulder pain, but also the heart, already comments on a Spanish sports newspaper.
Marc-André Ter Stegen is left out in the preparation of FC Barcelona. The 33 -year -old German national goalkeeper completed only an individual unit on the third day, as Spanish media reported. Coach Hansi Flick prepared for an intensive week without a break after the holidays, wrote “Mundo Deportivo”. Due to back problems, Ter Stegen only trained on the edge of the currently 36 player in the fitness room.
Degraded to number three
It was the fourth unit one after the other, which the long -time stem keeper of the Catalans now spent more or less alone. At first the association had not mentioned any reason, then it said Spanish reports that Ter Stegen had back problems, according to the club.
The significantly bigger problem seems to be long ago, like the German keeper, who had been for a long time due to a serious knee injury last season, and FC Barcelona can get a solution: Barça wants to get rid of his captain. The German, which was degraded to number three, wants to remain.
The new number one, Joan García (24), was signed by the city rival Espanyol and equipped with a long -term contract until mid -2031. The Wojciech Szczęsny, 35 years old during the Stegen, was recently received a new contract. Ter Stegen should only be number three under Flick. His contract is still valid for three years.
Flick has not yet commented publicly
“Ter Stegen’s heart also hurts”, wrote “Sport” in a comment on the Keepers’ situation, which was switched from Borussia Mönchengladbach to FC Barcelona in summer 2014. With the Catalans, he won the Champions League (2015) and six times the Spanish championship title.
“Ter Stegen is one of the best goalkeepers in Barça with an exemplary attitude,” said “Sport” comment: “I understand that he continues to feel able to be the first goalkeeper, but the thoughts of players do not always match those of their superiors.”
García is also described in Spanish media as a desired candidate of Flick. The German coach has not yet publicly commented on the matter. However, the club has already harvested criticism from many sides for dealing with the German keeper.
No bank role in a World Cup season
Ter Stegen itself is now under pressure to act because of the World Cup: a permanent bank role in the club would also be reflected on the national team situation. Especially after he hadn’t played for a long time because of his injury last season.
A strong interest from Turkey is rumored by Galatasaray Istanbul. The AS Monaco is also one of the traded new employers for Ter Stegen, who would be a very expensive bench press for the FC Barcelona, which was already financially, which was already financially.
