Szczesny to Join Barcelona After Ter Stegen Injury

Former Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is set to come out of retirement to join Barcelona following a season-ending injury to their first-choice keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who suffered a ruptured patella tendon. Szczesny, who retired just 29 days ago, cited his respect for Barcelona and the situation's urgency as reasons for his return. Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick confirmed the need for an experienced goalkeeper to support Inaki Pena, their current backup. Szczesny is expected to undergo a medical and sign a short-term contract with the Catalan club, potentially reuniting with his former Poland teammate, Robert Lewandowski.
