Marc-André ter Stegen Returns to Barcelona Early With Knee Issue

Marc-André ter Stegen will be cutting his international duty short, as the German keeper returns to Barcelona early due to a knee issue. The player will not feature in Germany’s clash with Brazil.

Joachim Löw, his national team coach, has said the problem is not serious, and he will be rested as a precaution. Barcelona doctors are said to be eager to run tests just to make sure, however.

With Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich) injured, Bernd Leno (Bayer Leverkusen) and Kevin Trapp (Paris Saint-Germain) are expected to split time between the posts this Wednesday.
