Football goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen gave in to the league in a dispute with FC Barcelona and approved the forwarding of his medical data to the league.
The Spanish master’s disciplinary procedure against the keeper was hired, Barça said on Friday evening. In addition, Ter Stegen is again captain of the team with immediate effect.
Just a few hours earlier, the professional had spoken publicly for the first time in two weeks. The 33-year-old feels incorrectly presented, as he explained in a detailed Instagram statement. Many things were said about him and “Some of them completely baseless”wrote Ter Stegen.
Ter Stegen gets dialogue rolling
He continued to feel a deep affection for the club, the city and the fans and want to find a common solution, the goalkeeper understood. This solution has not been long in coming.
The trouble between Ter Stegen and Barça was recently escalated. The background to this is that the ex-Gladbacher apparently refused the club to forward his injury report to the medical commission of the league. The association of coach Hansi Flick then initiated a disciplinary procedure and withdrawn the function as captain. Now there is the U -turn.
Downtime after back surgery decisive
Ter Stegen had recently been operated on on the back. In a social media post, he then spoke of a downtime of three months. The association had assumed that Ter Stegen will be missing for four months or more.
In this case, in accordance with the financial fair play rules applicable in Spain, Barça can use 80 percent of the default player’s salary to register a new player. Spicy, it is Joan García, whom the Catalans had signed in summer for around 25 million euros as the new number one of Espanyol Barcelona.
