The goalkeeper situation at Barcelona has been a major talking point due to Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, which saw him rupture his patellar tendon. Initially, his chances of playing again this season seemed slim, but things have changed.
Details: According to Diario Sport, Ter Stegen is progressing ahead of schedule and is adjusting his recovery plan to return before the season ends. The German has already started working with Barcelona’s goalkeeping coach and is even stepping onto the pitch for light training.
It is believed that Ter Stegen has informed the coaching staff to consider him in their plans for May, targeting the final five La Liga matches and a potential Champions League semifinal second leg.
Reminder: Reports have suggested that his backup, Iñaki Peña, who recently lost the competition for the starting spot to Wojciech Szczęsny, may leave Barcelona.
