Barcelona will be without the world’s best goalkeeper for a third consecutive game as Xavi Hernández confirmed on Saturday’s pre-match press conference that the German has been ruled out of Sunday’s La Liga clash against Atlético Madrid at the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium due to his back injury.
Xavi: "Ter Stegen tested it out and he has discomfort. He is ruled out for tomorrow. He is sad that he can’t play, because he is one of the captains and is very involved. We will see next week." #BarçaAtleti pic.
