Hansi Flick backs Inaki Pena to replace Ter Stegen

“Inaki Pena is a professional. He is training very hard. It is not easy to be the second-choice goalkeeper. He is prepared to play,” Hansi Flick said in his press conference.

“We have confidence in him. We will see what decision we end up making,” Flick added.

Ter Stegen is unlikely to play again this season following the knee injury he suffered in the game against Villarreal.

Barca are expected to sign a goalkeeper as a replacement either immediately or in the winter transfer window in January.
