Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been reinstated as captain of FC Barcelona after sending his medical report to LaLiga, which had caused a temporary disciplinary issue. Ronald Araujo was expected to substitute as captain, but the situation was quickly resolved. Ter Stegen was previously reluctant to share his medical data, impacting Barcelona's ability to register new players. His surgery means he could be sidelined for at least four months, yet he expressed his willingness to cooperate with club management regarding this matter and firmly denied unfounded claims about him.
"The disciplinary case has been closed and the player is captain of the first team once again with immediate effect."
"In recent weeks, many things have been said about me, some of them entirely unfounded. Therefore, I feel it is necessary to express my version of events respectfully, yet clearly."
"Therefore, at no point could I consider that my unfortunate circumstances with the new surgery I had to undergo would be necessary for the registration of other colleagues whom I greatly respect."
