Hansi Flick and his coaching staff have recently held a conversation with Pena to clarify expectations and provide reassurance of their unwavering support for him.
Inaki Pena has been told by Barcelona management he will be their No1 for the remainder of the season.AdvertisementAdvertisement"We are not going to sign a starting goalkeeper for you, if someone comes he will be a substitute. The goal is yours, you are the starter," Pena has been told.
That message was sent to Pena from the first training sessions after Ter Stegen's injury. Flick is telling him this in private and has also said it in a press conference.
