The German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and the Brazilian striker Raphael Dias Belloli ‘Raphinha’ received medical clearance from their respective injuries and entered the Barcelona squad for this Sunday’s match (9:00 p.m.) against Granada.
Ter Stegen, who had been in the dry dock for three months due to low back pain that forced him to undergo surgery, aims to regain ownership in the match that will be held at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.
