FC Barcelona's training session this Friday was marked by uncertainty around the Marc Ter Stegen's physical condition. The German goalkeeper suffered from some knee discomfort in the first minutes of practicewhich set off alarms in the Catalan club.
Ter Stegen had to be treated by Barça's medical services after an accidental blow during an exercise. He got up on his own feet, but the concern remained latent after the Barça team closed the doors to the press 15 minutes into the start of training.
Ter Stegen's possible injury adds to the plague of casualties that afflicts Barcelona at the moment. Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Ferran Torres and Alejandro Balde are in the medical report, which leaves the team just enough to face next Saturday's crucial match against Las Palmas.
However, in the end everything ended in a scare. Ter Stegen was able to complete the training session without major problems and will be available for the duel against Las Palmas.
The news is a relief for coach Xavi Hernández, who is already with the squad at minimum levels and could not afford to lose one of his most important players. Barcelona needs to add three points against the team to consolidate its position in second place in the Spanish League and not lose sight of Real Madrid, leader of the competition.
