Barça: Ter Stegen set to play in Copa del Rey

Marc-André ter Stegen is back in action for FC Barcelona. According to Marca, the German goalkeeper could already feature on Tuesday night against CD Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey.

Normally, Barça fields their backup goalkeeper for this competition, but Szczesny, the usual starter, has recently been sidelined with gastroenteritis, which could open the door for Ter Stegen to step in.

📌 SPORT cover | "Ter Stegen dilemma" Hansi Flick will have to decide if Ter Stegen starts tomorrow against Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey. In LaLiga and the Champions League it seems very clear that Joan García will maintain the starting position, despite the German's return.

Looking ahead, the situation remains uncertain. Joan Garcia, a summer signing, is still considered the club’s number one, and Ter Stegen will probably need to move on if he hopes to play in the next World Cup.

🚨‼️ Ter Stegen won't waive even €1 from his remaining contract years to help Barça. GK believes he's already done enough by extending contract & deferring salary portions during club's toughest times to facilitate his teammate registrations. [@mundodeportivo]
