However, even with Ter Stegen now fully fit, Flick and sports director Deco are keen for Szczesny to extend his stay into next season,
Flick said this morning: "Negotiating contracts is Deco's job. I'm happy with Szczesny.
"He has a great personality, he's calm... these are qualities that suit us very well. And he's also positive in the dressing room. And I think he wants to stay here.
"(Robert) Lewandowski is a year older. We'll see what happens. Szczesny smokes a bit sometimes... He's calmer than Lewandowski, he's the right age and he's more relaxed."
