Another drop in draft for Barça in Vallecas. The Barcelona team will not be able to count on its starting goalkeeper, Marc-André Ter Stegen against Rayo Vallecano. The German left the Sant Joan Despí sports city this Friday morning before the team's training session. The goalkeeper has not been able to overcome the lower back pain that forced him to leave the German national team camp a week ago.
Ter Stegen, second captain of the squad, is also being key this season. He is one of the Barça players who usually wins points. He will be replaced by Iñaki Peña, who has not yet made his debut this season.
Ter Stegen's objective will be to try to recover in time to play on Tuesday in Montjuïc against Porto in a vital match in the group stage of the Champions League. But it won't be easy for him to be ready. The German has not participated in any of this week's training sessions.
