”The disciplinary case has been closed and the player is again captain of the A-team with immediate effect”, writes Barcelona in a statement.

The conflict between the parties was about the fact that ter Stegen did not want to sign a document that allowed Barcelona to share his medical information with La Liga, which the club wanted to open up salary space to be able to register new players. The goalkeeper has now signed the document.

ter Stegen recently underwent a back operation due to injury and will be away from play for 3–4 months.
