Hansi Flick provides update on Barcelonaโ€™s goalkeeper plans after Ter Stegen injury

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has on Tuesday provided a fresh insight into the clubโ€™s plans between the posts moving forward.

This, of course, comes amid widespread speculation that Barcelona could soon dip into the market, to bring in a new free agent goalkeeper.

Blaugrana no.1 Marc-Andrรฉ ter Stegen was the victim of a serious injury over the weekend, picked up during his sideโ€™s La Liga meeting with Villarreal.

After being stretchered from the field of play in agony, the German international was later diagnosed with a complete rupture in the patella tendon in his right knee

Ter Stegen is expected to spend the rest of the season on the sidelines as a result.

So, just where do Barcelona stand on entering the market, to bring in a replacement for their stricken shot-stopper?

Speaking during a press conference ahead of his sideโ€™s upcoming meeting with Getafe, Hansi Flick was this afternoon drawn on precisely as much by the media.

And the German tactician went on to explain:

โ€œSigning a goalkeeper? Iรฑaki is doing very well, he is a great professional. We trust him. We will discuss what we should do. We are comfortable with him. We donโ€™t feel pressure.โ€
