Tensions between Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Barcelona’s top brass have reached a breaking point, with Hansi Flick now stepping in to help settle the matter – www.isagoal.com reports.
SPORT reveals Flick will meet with club leaders today to evaluate whether the goalkeeper should remain captain after refusing to authorize the release of his medical records.
“He’s expected to miss four months,” claims the club, while Ter Stegen argues he’ll be back in three, fueling the current standoff.
His unwillingness to share medical details with La Liga’s commission has led to legal action from the club.
Laporta is reportedly livid, and the board feels Ter Stegen’s stance is not becoming of a team leader.
Flick had previously said the players would decide the captain, but pressure may now force a top-down call.
Barcelona may ask the squad to vote for a new captain after their next fixture.
