On Sunday, Marc-André ter Stegen suffered a serious injury with FC Barcelona against Villarreal (5-1). Coming off at half-time, the German goalkeeper suffered a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee and will undergo surgery during the day. An absence of between 8 and 9 months is being discussed, until the end of the season. At Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti wanted to express his support for the Barça player, sending a message of alarm about the number of players injured recently.
“I want to say that I am very sad to see players as important as Ter Stegen, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, get injured. I hope he recovers quickly. How many injuries will it take before we act? At the moment, we can’t do much, because as I said, nothing is going to change this season, but we can think. The world of football has to do that.”said the Real Madrid manager.
