The German international was originally expected to be sidelined for seven to eight months. However, the Blaugrana goalkeeper could end up being out for much longer than expected.
A year without playing for Marc-André ter Stegen?
Marc-Andre ter Stegen will begin a long period of convalescence. His serious injury could keep him away from the pitch “for 7, 8 months or even a year”, Roberto Seijas, a traumatologist at the Cugat Institute who was part of the medical team that operated on the FC Barcelona goalkeeper, told Mundo Deportivo. A huge blow for the German and FC Barcelona, who now have to find a replacement, even though Inaki Pena is expected to take over until January 2025.
