Marc ter Stegen injury news
The first team player Marc ter Stegen has undergone a successful surgical intervention on the patella tendon injury in his right knee by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau under the supervision of the Club’s Medical Services at Barcelona Hospital. The player is unavailable for selection and his recovery will dictate his return.
The Barça keeper had to leave the field in the Estadio de la Cerámica at the end of the first half. The injury came as the goalkeeper landed awkwardly after catching a Villarreal cross. The German international was visibly in pain and was quickly replaced by Iñaki Peña.
This season the Barça captain has started every game. His appearance against Villarreal was his 289th in a blaugrana shirt and took him past legendary blaugrana keeper Antoni Ramallets into third place on the all-time list of appearances for goalkeepers.
