Barcelona reinstated Marc-Andre ter Stegen as captain after resolving a dispute over his refusal to sign medical authorisation for La Liga following back surgery. The conflict had led to temporary removal of his armband and disciplinary action. Ter Stegen agreed to sign the required documents, closing the case and restoring his leadership role immediately. The club confirmed the decision in an official statement on Friday evening.
