Stegen conducts the operation successfully and a “mysterious” official statement from Barcelona | Arabic Goal.com

The Spanish club Barcelona issued an official statement today, Friday, about the surgery that German goalkeeper Mark ter Stegen underwent.

The Catalan team’s goalkeeper suffered from lower back pain during the last camp with the German national team, which forced Barcelona to take this measure to solve the problem once and for all.

Barcelona said in its statement: “Ter Stegen underwent a successful surgery due to lower back problems, and it was performed by Dr. Emily Leglis under the supervision of the club’s medical staff at the Bordeaux-Mérignac Sports Clinic.”

He added, refusing to reveal the length of his absence: “Stegen will now be away from the field and his ability to recover will determine the date of his return to the field again.”

According to many Spanish newspapers, this type of surgical intervention will keep Stegen away for a period of up to one and a half to two months.

It is noteworthy that some reports indicated Barcelona’s desire to sign a new goalkeeper in January, such as David de Gea and other available goalkeepers, but this possibility seems very weak.
