A report from various sources has make it abundantly clear how important Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is to this Barcelona side. The 31-year-old has had his critics over the last few years, but his absence of late has been felt significantly, with Inaki Pena unable to match his level, especially over the last few weeks.JAMB Portal

Football statistics also make it known that in January alone, Barcelona have conceded 19 goals – a remarkable amount – and they still have to take on Osasuna on Wednesday evening. Although Pena has not performed particularly bad during this period, it’s become apparent that club officials have lost some trust in him, to the point that they do not see him as Ter Stegen’s long-term replacement, as per Cadena SER.NYSC Portal

Arnau Tenas was supposed to be that, but he left Barcelona last summer after failing to agree terms on a new contract, and he would subsequently join Paris Saint-Germain. With him gone, it raises serious doubts as to who will be the club’s goalkeeper once Ter Stegen eventually steps aside.JAMB Result

In the short term, Barcelona will be pleased that Ter Stegen is very close to returning. The German stopper is back in training, and should be back in the team in the next couple of weeks. This should result in an upturn of performance, at least in the defensive department.informationguidenigeria
