Injury blow for Ter Stegen in Spain

Spanish club Girona have confirmed that German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will undergo surgery following the injury he suffered in recent weeks.

Ter Stegen picked up the problem during Girona’s league match against Real Oviedo after joining the club on loan from Barcelona in January.

The injury is described as serious setback coming at a key stage of the season as the goalkeeper looks to secure regular playing time.

Club statement announces Friday operation

Girona released short statement on their official X account confirming that Ter Stegen will have surgery on Friday due to issue in his left hamstring tendon.

The club added that the length of his recovery period will only become clear after the medical procedure has been completed. Girona who currently sit 12th in La Liga with 25 point, did not provide expected return date.

World Cup concerns for Germany

The news raised questions about Ter Stegen’s availability for Germany ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Earlier reports suggested he could be sidelined for more than two month followed by rehabilitation phase that may affect his match sharpness.

At 33 the goalkeeper is determined to remain in contention at international level but the injury adds uncertainty to his plans after moving to Girona in search of consistent minutes.

Loan move to restart his season

Ter Stegen joined Girona on loan after struggling to win the trust of Barcelona coach Hansi Flick who has preferred goalkeeper Joan Garcia in recent months.

The move was meant to help Ter Stegen regain form through regular appearances but this injury setback now threatens to disrupt his short-term future.
