Barca confirm Ter Stegen to undergo surgery on knee injury
The goalkeeper is set for a long spell out
Barcelona have confirmed that Marc-Andre ter Stegen will undergo knee surgery after suffering a “complete rupture in the patella tendon in his right knee.”
Ter Stegen sustained the injury in the first half of Sunday’s 5-1 win over Villarreal and was stretchered off and taken to hospital.
Barcelona have now confirmed the injury is as serious as we all feared and that the goalkeeper will go under the knife.
A statement read: “Tests carried out on the first team player, Marc ter Stegen confirm that he has a complete rupture in the patella tendon in his right knee. On Monday afternoon he will undergo a surgical process and once complete a new update will be released.”

There’s no timescale yet but Ter Stegen is expected to be out for a very long time and we may not see him again this season.
Inaki Pena is now expected to replace the German in the starting XI, starting on Wednesday when Barcelona return to action against Getafe.
Get well soon, Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
