Bad news for Szczesny. Flick to stick with Peña as Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper

Following Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, Barcelona made an emergency signing of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, who interrupted his football break to join the Catalan club. However, the 34-year-old Polish international is likely to remain limited to training with the Blaugrana for now.

Details: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has stated that while Szczesny has been performing well in training, it’s not enough to displace his competitor, Iñaki Peña, from the starting lineup. The Spanish goalkeeper will continue to hold the number one spot for the team.

Quote: "Right now, he’s working very well in training. But at the moment, the plan hasn’t changed, so Iñaki is number one. I’ve always said that before, and it remains the same," Flick told Football Espana.

Reminder: Recently, Dani Olmo recovered from injury and returned to training with Barcelona.
