The experienced goalkeeper is out for the remainder of the season due to a serious knee injury. He underwent immediate surgery and has already begun the long road to recovery. Until then, Barcelona will need to adequately fill the void he leaves. The solid favorite for the position is the seasoned Wojciech Szczęsny. The 34-year-old Pole recently retired from football but is reportedly ready to don the gloves again and return to the elite level at the call of Barcelona.
