Barça – Alarm with Ter Stegen
The German goalkeeper continues to be unable to train due to back problems and is considering surgery
BarcelonaMarc-André ter Stegen, along with Barça’s medical services, is considering going through the operating room to correct his problems in the lumbar area. The German goalkeeper, who has not played the last three games due to this injury, will decide this Monday whether to undergo surgery. If so, he would be out of work for about two months, according to ARA. For this type of injury, the specialists who usually work with Barça are those from the Catalan Institute of Traumatology and Sports Medicine (ICATME).
The back injury, which began in the last call-up with the German national team three weeks ago, caused Ter Stegen to leave the rally with his country. Since then, he has not trained with the Barcelona team. On Thursday, when the team had a party, he tried it alone, but the discomfort did not go away. They are particularly dedicated because they affect him especially in the fall after the jump and forcing him could worsen the situation, sources from the Barcelona club explain to this newspaper. For now, he has followed a conservative medical treatment that has not improved his feelings.
If, finally, it is agreed between the player and the medical services of Barça to go through the operating room, the German goalkeeper would be intervened by the ICATME spine specialist unit at the Dexeus Hospital. For example, the midfielder Touré Yayá operated on his day. He has also treated other well-known faces in the world of football and Barça, such as Pep Guardiola and Thierry Henry.
From the Blaugrana club, they define this unit as “absolute eminence” in their specialty. If he is finally operated on, Ter Stegen would work with the aim of being available for the round of 16 of the Champions League, which will take place in approximately two months. Meanwhile, Iñaki Peña has shown he is ready to fill his void after three very convincing performances in a row against Atlético Madrid, Porto and Rayo Vallecano.
