Overview

  • Hansi Flick acknowledged communication failings in the club’s handling of Marc-André ter Stegen and said both sides have reconciled with full support for his recovery.
  • Barcelona dropped a disciplinary case, reinstated ter Stegen as captain, and leveraged La Liga provisions to free about 80% of his wages to register 24-year-old Joan Garcia.
  • DFB sporting director Rudi Völler said ter Stegen will be given the chance to return but emphasized he must regain fitness and consistent club minutes.
  • Völler rejected a national-team recall for Manuel Neuer as “kein Thema,” despite public endorsements from Hermann Gerland and Lothar Matthäus.
  • With ter Stegen unavailable for the next international window, Völler pointed to options such as Oliver Baumann and expressed confidence in the goalkeeping depth.
