Marc-Andre ter Stegen will be sidelined for several months after suffering a serious injury in FC Barcelona’s 5-1 win over Villarreal.
The FC Barcelona goalkeeper was carried off on a stretcher in tears after injuring his right knee in the first half of Sunday’s 5-1 win over Villarreal in La Liga. Ter Stegen landed awkwardly after claiming a corner, and the players present immediately called for help. He was taken to a hospital near Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica for tests.
The 32-year-old is now expected to be out for a considerable period of time. According to RAC1, ESPN are reporting that he could be out for up to eight months, which would end his season.
8 months of absence for ter Stegen?
His injury spoiled an otherwise enjoyable afternoon for Barcelona, who have made it six wins from six in the league thanks to two goals each from Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, as well as a goal from Pablo Torre.
“It’s not looking good for Marc”Flick said after the match. “We have to wait to know the full diagnosis of the injury, but it is true that it seems very serious. This injury makes us sad. I think the injury will be huge, but we have to wait for the information.”
Barca’s injury list grows longer, with Ter Stegen joining Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo on the bench.
