Cillessen in line for Barcelona debut after ter Stegen injury

Jasper Cillessen is set to make his Barcelona debut on Saturday against Alaves after Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered an injury during training.

Cillessen joined the LaLiga champions from Ajax shortly before the closure of the transfer window, replacing Claudio Bravo, who moved to Manchester City.

The Netherlands international is expected to get his chance in goal after Ter Stegen sustained a hamstring injury, which meant he was not named in Luis Enrique's match squad on Saturday morning.
