According to reports, ter Stegen shared a graffiti image of himself on his official social media pages, featuring the text “Coolers, I’m back!” along with two hearts in blue and red.

The Barcelona goalkeeper and first-team captain is set to start in the lineup tonight against Valladolid, marking his first appearance for the club since September 22 last year due to injury.

Flick confirmed the German star’s inclusion in the starting lineup for this match, despite earlier reports suggesting he would only return for the Champions League final (if Barcelona advanced).

Ter Stegen has been highly active on social media throughout his recovery, sharing updates on his progress with Barcelona fans and repeatedly emphasizing his goal of shortening his return time.
