According to ESPN, Barcelona has not decided whether to take Ter Stegen to Japan and South Korea for preseason friendly matches, and the club has informed the players that they need to leave the team.

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen has been training alone since Barcelona resumed preseason training last Sunday, and his future remains uncertain. The Barcelona player underwent a physical examination on Sunday, followed by Frick hosting his first full-team training on Monday. The club said Ter Stegen trained alone in the gym. The German international did not participate in team training in two training sessions on Tuesday.

Next week, Barcelona will fly to Asia for pre-season friendly matches, playing in Japan and South Korea respectively. According to ESPN sources, it is not yet certain whether Ter Stegen will go with the team. Ter Stegen, 33, joined Barcelona in 2014 and has been the team's main goalkeeper since Bravo transferred to Manchester City in 2016.

However, this summer, Ter Stegen's status has declined with the signing of Joan Garcia from Barcelona for 25 million euros. According to an ESPN source, the club has informed Ter Stegen to leave, but he has so far expressed his desire to stay. The club hopes he can change his position.

Terstegen needs to participate in regular games to prepare for next year's World Cup, and he hopes to become the starting goalkeeper for Germany by then. Barcelona's plan is to let Joan Garcia be the main goalkeeper, with Szczesni, who has been renewing his contract for two years, as the substitute. Last summer, Szczesny returned to Barcelona after a serious knee injury in Ter Stegen.

Telstegen returned at the end of the season and made two appearances, but Szczesni maintained his position in important games. During this week's training, Joan Garcia, Szczesni and Inaghi Pena were all involved. Penia was previously a substitute for Ter Stegen and took his place early last season, but was later replaced by Szczesny.

Sources confirmed that Penia is willing to accept new challenges and pursue more opportunities to play.
