Even Hansi Flick had declared before the return from the “quarters” of the Liga lost by Barcelona (1-3 at Dortmund): “Many things can change very quickly, whatever can happen. I can't give a 100%answer.”

And the Polish goalkeeper was resigned with the arrival of the maturity and the exit of the spotlight, in favor of Ter Stegen: “If he returned and is in shape, and the coaches decide that they should return to the gate, I will agree with it. I want to play further in the Champions League. I hope that if the decision is the other way around, Marc will understand.”
We have a great relationship and whatever happens is Hansi's decision, which we will respect. He returns to training after a very serious injury, and the truth is that when he is fully recovered, there will not be many goalkeepers at his level
