Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, is nearing a return to action following an injury and could potentially feature in the Champions League. However, for that to happen, the club must meet one condition.
According to Mundo Deportivo, to include ter Stegen in the Champions League squad for the remainder of the competition, Barcelona would need to unregister Wojciech Szczesny, who has been a regular starter this season.
It is reported that the club is currently leaning towards keeping Szczesny as the main goalkeeper for the remainder of the season, with ter Stegen possibly making his comeback in the final rounds of La Liga.
This means that if Barcelona advances to the Champions League semifinals, Szczesny is unlikely to be removed from the squad.
