Relief for Barcelona: Ter Stegen’s Injury Not a Major Concern, Expected to Return Soon
In a recent announcement, Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann disclosed that Marc-Andre Ter Stegen would be sidelined for their upcoming international matches due to “acute back pain.” The goalkeeper’s inability to train has rendered him unfit to play, prompting his return to Barcelona for continued recovery. Ter Stegen, a key figure as the undisputed starter under Xavi Hernandez, left fans and the team with apprehensions following news of his injury.
Despite the initial worries, Barcelona appears to be relatively unconcerned about Ter Stegen’s injury at this stage. According to Sport, the 31-year-old is expected to regain fitness in time for the upcoming match against Rayo Vallecano next weekend. The report also mentions that additional tests will be conducted over the weekend to ascertain the full extent of the injury.
With Barcelona currently facing scrutiny due to lackluster performances, the potential loss of their starting goalkeeper to injury adds an unwelcome layer of pressure. Catalonia is anxiously hoping for positive results from the upcoming tests, keeping fingers crossed that Ter Stegen will be available not only for the imminent match but also for the challenges that lie beyond.
