Iñaki Peña vs. Wojciech Szczęsny: Barcelona’s Goalkeeper Strategy Against Espanyol

On Wednesday, new details surfaced regarding Barcelona’s coaching plans for the goalkeeper position, just before this weekend’s Derbi Barceloní.

Hansi Flick’s team is scheduled to face city rivals Espanyol on Sunday. In preparation for the match, Iñaki Peña has stepped in as the starting goalkeeper while Marc-André ter Stegen remains unavailable.

Wojciech Szczęsny, who was brought in as emergency cover earlier this month, is currently sidelined but eager to play. However, it appears he won’t make his debut this weekend.

According to Diario Sport, Iñaki Peña will maintain his role as the starting goalkeeper for now, as the coaching staff believes that gaining more match experience will aid his development.
