Iñaki Peña set for unexpected homecoming against FC Barcelona

Iñaki Peña is making a trip back to Barcelona earlier than probably expected. The goalkeeper was loaned out to Galatasaray in the winter transfer window, and now the Turkish club has been drawn with FC Barcelona in the UEFA Europa League.

Peña has started in goal in Galatasaray’s latest outings, although that has been when Fernando Muslera has been out. The veteran Uruguayan has been out for more than a month with a cruciate ligament injury. But he is back now, meaning there is every chance new manager Domènec Torrent will return to Galatasaray’s long-serving goalkeeper.
