According to World Sports, since Ter Stegen refused to authorize the submission of medical reports, Barcelona could impose a fine of up to 340,000 euros on him and suspend him for 11-30 days.
Terstegen completed lumbar surgery last month and is expected to have a long-term injury. According to a report by SIT earlier today, Ter Stegen refused to sign a medical consent form, so that Barcelona could not submit the injury report to the La Liga Medical Committee to assess the severity of his injury. The medical reports of the
player are considered private information and Barcelona cannot share the reports with the La Liga division without their authorization. Barcelona has decided to hand over the incident to the legal department and immediately initiate disciplinary procedures. If the club’s legal and board of directors approve the action, they will internally punish Ter Stegen.
Clubs may take action in accordance with the current collective agreement between La Liga and the Spanish Players' Union. The agreement lists “disobedience (including breach of penalties) that result in serious disciplinary damage or cause significant damage to the club” as a major violation. Ter Stegen's refusal constituted disobedience, causing Barcelona to be unable to register players with their cap space, which has caused substantial damage.
Under this labor-management agreement, the most severe punishments for players may include dismissal and 11 to 30 days of suspension of wages (requires ruling based on the severity of the circumstances). In terms of fines, Barcelona can impose a fine of up to 340,000 euros on Ter Stegen.
The current relationship between the team and the players continues to deteriorate, and the Spanish Players' Union is paying close attention to this. It is understood that they are maintaining communication with Ter Stegen and will decide whether to intervene depending on the development of the situation.
In the favor of the players, Ter Stegen, as a citizen, is protected by the Spanish Basic Law on Data Protection and Digital Rights Protection. This law establishes the principles of legality, integrity, transparency, limitation of purpose and data minimization when processing personal information. Football players have specific rights to their data, including access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction of processing and data portability.
