Barcelona Confirms Marc-André ter Stegen's Severe Injury and Scheduled Surgery Date
The Barcelona club issued a medical report confirming that their German goalkeeper has sustained one of the most severe injuries a player can experience.
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has suffered a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee, according to the club’s medical staff.
In the medical statement released by Barcelona, it was also confirmed that the German keeper will undergo surgery on Monday, after which a further update will be provided.
Ter Stegen sustained the injury late in the first half of Barcelona's LaLiga EA Sports match against Villarreal (1-5) at El Madrigal on Sunday.
The German injured his right knee—the same one operated on in May 2021—after an awkward fall during a challenge and had to be stretchered off, with Iñaki Peña replacing him.
