It looks like bad news is almost always just around the corner for FC Barcelona. Unfortunate events and changes have already happened this season, and it looks like Barcelona will be the one to see that trend continue instead of slow down.
At first, star players Pedri and Ronald Araujo got hurt. Not long after that, important players like Jules Kounde, Frenkie De Jong, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski got hurt. That being said, it looks like Barcelona has lost another leader sick.
According to the most recent report from SPORT, it looks like Barcelona captain Marc Andre Ter Stegen is also hurt. The player has had some kind of back pain while on foreign duty with the German National Team.
According to German coach Julian Nagelsmann, Ter Stegen is having some back pain and difficulty right now. Because of this pain, he can’t do normal training or games.
As a result, the player is likely to return to Barcelona soon to get more tests. Each and every Barcelona fan and coach will be crossing their fingers that their captain doesn’t have something too serious.
There aren’t enough players in some spots already, but the goalkeeper depth is especially bad. It is thought that Inaki Pena would take over if Ter Stegen became unavailable.
Even though Pena is a good goalkeeper, he is not as good as Ter Stegen. Some say that the German is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe right now, and his skill is very important to how Barcelona plays football.
