Things go from bad to worse between Marc André Ter Stegen and FC Barcelona. We knew that the German porter was under disciplinary procedure after refusing to transmit his medical file to the Spanish League. The said procedure led to a strong decision that makes a little bad kind, as the journalist Fabrizio Romano announces.
The Catalan club has officially – although temporarily – withdrew the captain's armband in Ter Stegen. Ronald Araújo, vice-captain, immediately endorses, although in temporary, the role of leader on the ground.
Barça recruitment on stand-by
Everything starts from a blockage around the German medical file. While Ter Stegen announced a recovery of three months after its back operation, the club estimates that only a stop of at least four months would allow the indemnity rule for long -term injury and thus release from the wage margin. Ter Stegen refused to sign the medical document, which sparked the litigation.
A scenario that says nothing good for the club, stuck in its upset recruitment plans – especially to register Joan García, freshly arrived, or even Marcus Rashford.
For its part, the Liga and the AFE (Association of Spanish players) have already made their support for the porter. The troffeu match Joan Gamper who is approaching accentuates the emergency: it is usually the captain who has the honor of addressing the public, which Marc-André Ter Stegen will therefore not do this year, and probably never again.
