World Sports Exclusive: Ter Stegen refuses to sign medical report, Barcelona prepares for punishment

Hupu, August 5, FernandoPolo, deputy editor-in-chief of World Sports, exclusive report, Telstegen's close confidants revealed that he refused to sign a consent form and refused to submit the injury and surgery report to the Laliga Medical Committee, which is responsible for assessing the severity of the injury.

In view of this, according to the club's general manager, Barcelona has decided to hand over the case to its legal department and immediately initiate disciplinary procedures.

If the club's legal experts decide to do so, and the board of directors approves, the club itself may impose internal sanctions on the players themselves.

Telstegen's refusal to sign the medical report would have a direct impact on the club. Depending on the severity of his injury, if it is believed that recovery may take five months or more, FC Barcelona may go to the goalkeeper’s salary to directly ensure Juan Garcia’s registration.

This is similar to what happened last summer, when the club's medical committee confirmed Andreas Christensen had a prolonged injury that could be more than four months, so the club was able to register Dani Ormo.

In any case, no player (at least known to Barcelona) refuses to provide medical data in similar circumstances. Barcelona has experienced two similar situations, namely the recent serious injuries of Christensen and Ronald Araujo, and with the confirmation of Laliga's official medical team, Barcelona allowed Dani Ormo and Inigo Martinez to register respectively.

As our newspaper reported previously, Barcelona hopes to interview Ter Stegen after returning from the tour to discuss his injury and the steps they may take with La Liga.

They sent him a message saying they wanted to communicate with him, but his response was straightforward: he didn't want to sign.
