Medical committee

Financial Fair Play: Barcelona have reinstated Marc-André ter Stegen as first-team captain, ending a brief but highly publicised fallout over the goalkeeper’s medical situation and its impact on the club’s ability to register new players.

The decision came after the German signed the authorisation allowing Barcelona to send his medical report to La Liga.

“The Club announces that the player Marc-André ter Stegen has signed the authorisation necessary for the Club to send La Liga the medical report relating to his surgery,” Barcelona confirmed in a statement on Friday. “The disciplinary case has been closed and the player is captain of the first team once again with immediate effect.”
