Atletico Madrid Expects Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to Miss Training

Barcelona faces a potential setback ahead of their crucial La Liga match against Atletico Madrid as first choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen continues to struggle with a back injury.

Barcelona’s Marc-Andre Ter Stegen set to miss crucial La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid

Barcelona are facing a goalkeeper crisis ahead of their highly anticipated La Liga showdown with Atletico Madrid. First choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is set to miss the game as he continues to recover from a back injury sustained while on international duty with Germany.

The club has been taking a cautious approach to Ter Stegen’s recovery in a bid to avoid aggravating the problem. With his return date consistently pushed back, it looks increasingly likely that he will be sidelined for the Atletico clash. Inaki Pena has been filling in during Ter Stegen’s absence, and his presence in goal could mark a historic moment for the La Masia graduate as he looks set to make his third consecutive start for Barcelona’s first team.

Ter Stegen’s absence will be a blow for Barcelona as they look to secure a crucial victory against title rivals Atletico Madrid. The German goalkeeper has been training alone in a bid to regain fitness, but it appears that he has made little progress in overcoming the injury. His absence will be keenly felt as Barcelona look to navigate a challenging period without their first choice shot-stopper.
