Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen is in the final phase of recovery from his back surgery and the plan is for him to receive medical clearance this week, potentially before the La Liga fixture on Saturday against Osasuna.

You need to deliver and prove that you're ready. "Manchester United is a club that should always be at the top. I'm grateful to be playing in a side that's delivering and competing well. "To earn a spot in the national team, you have to consistently show your worth at club level."
