Former Barcelona captain Ter Stegen misses flight due to illness expected to miss Germany's pre-World Cup friendly


La Liga Barcelona announced today that 30-year-old Marc-Andre ter Stegen, the former captain and goalkeeper, was unable to attend the training camp with the German team due to ill health.


Subsequently, the German team also released details, saying that Ter Stegen would miss the flight to Oman today for the short-term training camp before the World Cup due to a gastrointestinal infection, and said that he would temporarily stay in Frankfurt until he recovers. Travel as soon as possible.


Ter Stegen has represented Germany in 30 international appearances, but he only served as a backup to 36-year-old German captain Manuel Neuer, helping the team win the Confederations Cup in 2017.


It is reported that the German team gathered at the Frankfurt Airport Hotel yesterday and will go to Oman for short-term training today. They will play a friendly against Oman on Thursday before kicking off the World Cup with Japan in Group E next Wednesday.
