Barcelona have announced that Marc-André ter Stegen has been temporarily stripped of the club's captaincy as the fallout from his lower back surgery continues.
ESPN reported on Tuesday that the goalkeeper refused to sign a consent form for his medical data to be shared with LaLiga, with Barça considering taking legal action in response.
Defender Ronald Araújo will take over as club captain until the issue is resolved, the club said.
