A sad message from Ter Stegen to Barcelona fans before facing Rayo Vallecano Egypt Goal.com

Barcelona goalkeeper Mark Ter Stegen sent a message to the Catalan club’s fans before the team’s match against Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish League.

The German goalkeeper did not train with the team during the past few days, because he returned from performing international duty with his country’s national team while suffering from lower back pain, so he was excluded from coach Xavi Hernandez’s squad.

Stegen said in a message on his Instagram account: “I am really disappointed because I was not able to play the last two matches with Germany. Yesterday I made the decision not to play today against Rayo Vallecano, but I will be back soon.”

This message was directed to the fans of the German national team, as well as Barcelona fans, who are preparing to rely on substitute Iñaki Peña to compensate for the absence of the 31-year-old.

It is noteworthy that Barcelona is playing this match in the fourteenth round of La Liga, and is in third place in the tournament table with 30 points, 4 points behind leaders Girona.
