Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been reinstated as Barcelona captain and disciplinary proceedings against him dropped in a dramatic 24-hour turnaround.<\/b><\/p>\n

The German keeper had been stripped of the armband on Thursday because of a dispute centred around surgery on a back injury in July. <\/p>\n

Barcelona would reportedly have been able to clear 80% of his wages until mid-season if the 33-year-old was classed as a long-term absentee, freeing up funds to allow them to register new players.<\/p>\n

However, Ter Stegen recently published a post on social media saying he would be out for three months, whereas La Liga rules require a player to remain sidelined for at least four to be considered a long-term absentee.<\/p>\n

He had also reportedly, external<\/span><\/a> been unwilling to allow Barca to share his medical data with La Liga. <\/p>\n

But Barca said Ter Stegen has now signed the relevant forms giving them authorisation to send the medical report.<\/p>\n

In a social media post earlier on Friday, the keeper said he was “fully willing to collaborate with the club’s management to resolve this matter and to provide the requested authorisation”.<\/p>\n

Ter Stegen added the suggestion his injury absence was being used as tool for Barcelona to register new players was “both unfair and inaccurate”.<\/p>\n

“I would also like to clarify that all of the club’s signings and contract renewals were completed prior to my surgery,” he said.<\/p>\n

“At no point could I consider that my unfortunate circumstances with the new surgery I had to undergo would be necessary for the registration of other colleagues whom I greatly respect and look forward to share [a] locker room with for many seasons.<\/p>\n

“I understand that difficult moments can generate tension, but I trust that, through dialogue and responsibility, we can resolve this situation constructively.”<\/p>\n

The La Liga champions’ summer signings have included the arrival of keeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol and England striker Marcus Rashford on loan from Manchester United.<\/p>\n

Ter Stegen has made more than 400 appearances for Barcelona since joining from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014, and his honours include winning the Champions League and six La Liga titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
