Bad news for Barcelona! Marc-Andre ter Stegen withdraws from Germany camp with back injury leaving Xavi sweating on goalkeeper's fitness

Barcelona

<p>The German No.1 felt "acute back pain" during training with the national team this week, and has been forced out of Die Mannschaft's friendlies against Turkey and Austria. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Ter Stegen initially felt pain on Thursday, and after it didn't subside on Friday, made the decision - in conjunction with national team doctors - to return to Barcelona. With Manuel Neuer not yet fit enough to return to the fold, manager Julian Nagelsmann now faces a dilemma as to who to bring into the team this week.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Nagelsmann described <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/ter-stegen-vuelve-lesionado-alemania-94766321" target="_blank">Ter Stegen's injury</a> in a press conference on Friday: "Marc-Andre Ter Stegen will miss both games because he has acute pain in his back. Tomorrow - on Saturday - he will fly back to Barcelona. I hope he recovers soon and returns to the field with his team."</p>

WHAT NAGELSMANN SAID

<p>The shot-stopper is set to return to his club setup, where he will undergo tests to determine the severity of his injury. Barcelona's next fixture is a La Liga clash with Rayo Vallecano on November 25, but it remains to be seen whether the German will be fit enough to feature.</p>
