German FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen underwent surgery on his right knee on Tuesday and will be absent for two and a half months, announced the Catalan club.
“The operation on the patellar tendon of the right knee carried out by doctor Ramon Cugat on the player of the first team Marc-André Ter Stegen was a success,” said the club in a statement, specifying that the time of absence is about two and a half months.
The 28-year-old German goalkeeper, who has suffered throughout the season from this right knee, will therefore miss the pre-season and the start of the season of FC Barcelona, which will resume with the Spanish league on September 12.
The goalkeeper, at the club since 2014, has participated in 46 matches this season with the Catalan team (36 in La Liga, 8 in the Champions League and two in the Copa del Rey), and has managed to keep his clean sheet 15 times.
Barça, in the midst of a crisis and still awaiting the appointment of their new coach after Quique Setién’s dismissal on Monday, ended their 2019-2020 season in second place in La Liga behind Real Madrid.
