Never before has a player refused: a case will be opened and further measures are not ruled out.
All-out war between Barcelona and Ter Stegen . The German goalkeeper has refused to sign the consent form to submit the report on his lumbar surgery to the LaLiga Medical Commission , as Mundo Deportivo reported , and the club will open disciplinary proceedings against him. Never before in history has a player refused to share his data. The club, which was surprised by Ter Stegen's decision despite the tensions with him in recent weeks, is confident he will reconsider. The club's legal department, however, is already studying the case to see if he maintains his position: Barรงa has not ruled out taking further disciplinary and legal measures.
Barcelona , who arrived in Barcelona on Tuesday after their tour of Asia , had, and still have , a meeting scheduled with Ter Stegen to discuss the medical report on his lumbar surgery, which he must send to LaLiga so the organization can determine how long he should be out. If it's four months or more, it's considered long-term, and his absence would allow other players, such as goalkeeper Joan Garcรญa, to be registered. But the German goalkeeper, to Barรงa's surprise, refused to give his permission for his data to be sent to Madrid. He didn't wait to meet with the institution's doctors at the scheduled meeting to express his position.
