Marc-André ter Stegen reinstated as Barcelona captain | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have confirmed that goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has given formal authorisation for the club to send La Liga his medical report related to recent surgery, bringing an end to a disciplinary matter that had briefly stripped him of his captaincy.

The German international, a central figure in Barça’s recent successes, had been involved in a procedural dispute regarding the sharing of his medical information with the league. While the club did not provide further details, the situation had escalated to disciplinary action, resulting in his temporary removal as captain.

With the matter now resolved, ter Stegen immediately regains his role as one of the team’s captains - a position he has held since 2024. His leadership both on and off the pitch has been widely praised by teammates, coaches, and fans alike.

In an official statement released on Friday evening, the club announced, 'The Club announces that the player Marc-André ter Stegen has signed the authorisation necessary for the Club to send La Liga the medical report relating to his surgery. The disciplinary case has been closed and the player is captain of the first team once again with immediate effect.'
