Recovery Updates: Vitor Roque Surprises, Ter Stegen’s Positive Outlook, and Putellas Out for El Clasico
In a turn of events, Vitor Roque has made a full recovery ahead of schedule. Initially slated to be sidelined until January 2024, a recent report from Diario Sport suggests he might see some playing time as early as next week.
On the injury front, an early update on Ter Stegen indicates optimism. While the German goalkeeper is yet to undergo tests, initial assessments suggest that the injury is not severe, paving the way for his return to action with Barcelona after the international break.
However, it’s not all positive news for Barcelona, as the two-time Ballon d’Or winner, Putellas, has been ruled out for El Clasico. Suffering a knock earlier in the week and missing group training sessions, Putellas won’t be on the pitch against Real Madrid on Sunday, adding a layer of challenge for Barca in this highly anticipated matchup.
