Ter Stegen Faces Four-Month Recovery After Spine Surgery Consideration

Barcelona’s goalkeeper **Marc-André ter Stegen** is considering undergoing surgery for his back, where he has been experiencing significant discomfort. The 33-year-old may be sidelined for up to four months, according to Sport.es.

The source indicates that it is unlikely the German player will join his teammates on their tour of Asia. Over the past few days, he has been working in the gym attempting to recover, but so far, this approach has not proven effective.

It is noted that ter Stegen’s injury could hinder his potential departure from Barcelona this summer. However, the goalkeeper might start looking for a new club this winter to secure his position as the main goalkeeper for the German national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
