The German goalkeeper is included in the starting eleven for the match of the Spanish Cup against modest Guadalajara. For ter Stegen, this will be his first match for the club in the current 2025/26 season.
The last time he participated in an official game was in June of this year, defending the colors of the German national team. This was followed by a long period of recovery from a back injury, which finally came to an end.
The match against a lower division representative in the Copa del Rey was the perfect opportunity for the Blaugranas coaching staff to get their leader back into the game and test his playing fitness in a less stressful atmosphere.
The Copa del Rey 1/16 match between Guadalajara and Barcelona will start at 10:00 p.m.
