"In a massive blow for Barcelona, club captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen has picked up a fresh injury while training in Jeddah, ahead of the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. The goalkeeper was training at Barcelona's training camp, but the injury meant he would now return to Catalonia and has been ruled out of the Super Cup. Barcelona confirmed the injury through an official statement."
"The report adds that Barcelona have called up Diego Kochen to arrive in Saudi Arabia to replace the injured ter Stegen, the club confirmed. "Diego Kochen, goalkeeper for the reserve team, will join the squad tomorrow," the club said. Kochen will serve as Barcelona's third-choice goalkeeper. The American shotstopper has already packed his bag and is expected to arrive on Wednesday and become available for the semifinal against Athletic Club."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen picked up a fresh injury while training in Jeddah and will return to Barcelona for medical tests, ruling him out of the Spanish Super Cup semi-final. Barcelona called up reserve goalkeeper Diego Kochen to join the squad in Saudi Arabia; Kochen will serve as third-choice, is expected to arrive Wednesday, and could be available for the semifinal against Athletic Club. The injury jeopardises plans for a January loan move, with Girona among interested clubs, and could undermine ter Stegen's chances of securing game time needed to contend for a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
