Ter Stegen returns
And the big headline from this morning’s session was the return of Barcelona captain Marc-André ter Stegen to group training.
In fact, according to SPORT, the 33-year-old veteran goalkeeper has finally been able to complete a session with the team after many months out.
Ter Stegen has been out since the summer after undergoing back surgery. The German international’s recovery has progressed very well.
This has allowed the goalkeeper to return to training on the Camp Tito Vilanova grass with his teammates with complete normality, although he will not have to return to action against Atlético de Madrid.

Another notable development from today’s training was that Ronald Araujo did not return to work with the rest of the group.
After missing the weekend’s game against Alavés due to a stomach virus, the Uruguayan international continues to have slight discomfort, which is why he was unable to train today despite being present at the Ciutat Esportiva.
Therefore, it seems likely that he will miss the match against The Red and Whites tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the youth players Dro and Tommy Marques were also present and trained without problems, and seem to be candidates for the squad list.

Frenkie de Jong also returned to the session without problems. The Dutch midfielder missed the previous match for personal reasons but had already returned to training normally in the recovery session after the victory against Alavés.
