As: Ter Stegen misses training again and stays in the gym, Barcelona says his back is uncomfortable

July 16th News Ass reported that Ter Stegen was absent from training again and was in a stalemate with the club.

German goalkeeper Ter Stegen stayed in the gym twice in a row during the preparations for the new season. The reason given by the club was that Ter Stegen had a discomfort in his back, but the explanation seemed more like an excuse because there was no medical report confirming his injury.

If Ter Stegen is really on vacation with injuries and does not notify the medical team in advance, it will be extremely irresponsible to the club. Obviously, the two sides are currently in a battle that is difficult to resolve quickly. Ter Stegen unilaterally decided to leave the team to put pressure on the club, which the club was dissatisfied with and troubled by the situation.

Last week, Frick had spoken with Ter Stegen, explicitly informing him that he would be the third goalkeeper from now on, behind Joan Garcia and Szczesny, and hinted that he could consider leaving the team. However, according to internal information from the club, Ter Stegen rejected the option to leave and insisted on fighting for the starting position.

It is obvious that this situation cannot last too long. There is no benefit to continue the stalemate, whether for the club or the Telstragins. Especially as the team's first captain, Ter Stegen should set an example for his teammates, which makes the situation even more complicated.
