Szczesny should be there on Tuesday, Barca will face Young Boys Bern on matchday 2 of the Champions League (9 p.m.). Whether he is actually playing yet remains to be seen.
At the end of August, Szczesny terminated his contract with Italian record champions Juventus Turin and announced his resignation in order to devote more time to his family. “My body still feels ready for challenges,” he had already explained at the time, but his “heart isn’t anymore.”
Szczesny played a total of 272 games in Serie A
Szczesny played a total of 272 games in the Italian Serie A for Juve and AS Roma. In addition, the 84-time national player, who was also in the Polish goal at the European Championships in Germany in the summer, brings the experience of 68 appearances in the Champions League and 132 Premier League games for Arsenal FC. However, he has never been active in the Spanish league.
