Barca to stick with academy keeper as Ter Stegen is set to go under the knife

Marc Andre Ter Stegen is ready to go under the knife for issues in his lower back. The surgery is expected to keep him out of action for the next 2-3 months.

In his absence, Barcelona have decided to put their trust in academy graduate Inaki Peña. The 24 year old has impressed in the 2-3 games that he has played. Against Porto and Atletico Madrid, Peña made several crucial saves that led to important wins for Barcelona. It remains to be seen how he does over a longer span of time.
