Barcelona's Marc-Andre Ter Stegon goalkeeper has been going through turbulent days, when he had to practice separately since the team returned to the training before the Sunday season.
Ter Stegen opposite the uncertain future in Barca
After a medical examination on Sunday, coach Hansi Flick had his first training session with the first team on Monday, but goalkeeper Ter Stegen could only practice the gym alone. The situation was not better on Tuesday, when the German goalkeeper continued to be absent in both training sessions with the whole team.
Next week, Barca will fly to Asia to participate in friendly matches in Japan and Korea. Whether Ter Stegen will move with the team to attend the tour or not has not been decided.

| Ter Stegen opposite the uncertain future in Barca |
Ter Stegen joined Barca in 2014 and became the No. 1 goalkeeper of the club since 2016, after Claudio Bravo moved to Manchester City. However, the position of the 33 -year -old goalkeeper was fiercely shaken this summer, when Barca recruited Joan Garcaa from Espanyol for 25 million euros.
Barca offered Ter Stegen to leave, but he still resolutely expressed his desire to stay. The Camp Nou team hopes he will change his intention once he realizes that he is no longer the number one choice, because he needs to play regularly to prepare for the World Cup summer next year.
Barca's plan, Joan Garcia, will catch the main and supported by Wojciech Szczesny, who has just signed a new two -year contract with the club. Szczesny returned to play last summer to sign a contract with Barca, when Ter Stegen was seriously injured at the end of September.
Ter Stegen has returned in the last weeks of the season, two appearances, but Szczesny still holds a position in important matches. Garcia and Szczesny both practice with Barca's main squad this week, along with Inaki Pena.
