After being taken off after a serious injury against Villarreal this Sunday, Marc-André ter Stegen (32 years old) will miss the entire season with FC Barcelona. In a statement released this Monday morning, FC Barcelona announced that “tests carried out on first-team player Marc ter Stegen confirm that he suffers from a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee. On Monday afternoon, he will undergo surgery which will be followed by an update,” it is explained.
An absence of between six and nine months is indicated by local media, but the German goalkeeper hopes to return as soon as possible. According to Sportthe 32-year-old goalkeeper insisted on having the operation as soon as possible. Ter Stegen does not want to miss a single day, as he wants to play again this season and has even set himself a target: to be back at the beginning of May. That would leave five league games, including a Clasico, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and the Champions League final.
