Ter Stegen, Last-Minute Absence for Barcelona Due to Injury<\/h2>\n\nBarcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen has left the team’s training camp in Saudi Arabia to return to Spain and undergo medical tests. The club confirmed the news after the injury suffered during a training session on Tuesday.\n\nTer Stegen, 33, has dealt with physical problems in the last two years, missing a large part of last season due to a knee injury and the start of the current one after undergoing back surgery.\n\nDuring this period, the German international has seen his place in the starting eleven occupied by Joan Garc\u00eda. Sources close to the club suggest that they are open to letting him leave in January, as he seeks to have more playing time before this summer’s World Cup.\n\nThe sources did not want to speculate on the severity of the injury, nor confirm if it is related to last year’s knee surgery, but any time off could frustrate a possible departure this month.\n\n\n
\"Marc-Andr\u00e9<\/figure>\n\n\nWith Ter Stegen out of action, the U-20 American goalkeeper, Diego Kochen, will travel to Jeddah to support Garcia and Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny in Wednesday’s Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Athletic Club.\n\nTer Stegen has played more than 400 matches with Bar\u00e7a since he arrived from Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach in 2014, but he has only participated in one match since his return from a back injury in December.\n\nHis only appearance was in the Copa del Rey victory against Guadalajara. Bar\u00e7a coach Hansi Flick has made it clear that Garc\u00eda, signed for 25 million euros from Espanyol last summer, is now his first choice for the goal.\n\nThis has left Ter Stegen in a complicated situation in a World Cup year.\n\nGirona, a LaLiga team, is among the clubs that have shown interest in signing him this month, but the economic aspect of any deal, given Ter Stegen’s high salary, means that any transfer, even on loan, would not be easy.\n\nBar\u00e7a arrived in Jeddah on Monday to prepare for Wednesday’s semi-final against Athletic, whose winner will face Real Madrid or Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid in Sunday’s final.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
