"The Barcelona captain has now completed several training sessions in which he has taken part in some of the group work, and he is showing very positive progress with no sign of the back pain that forced him to undergo surgery in July. With more than four months since the operation, Ter Stegen is in the final stretch of his rehabilitation, and Thursday's training session included a significant detail that hints at his return."
"Unlike the usual routine, Hansi Flick did not call up any goalkeepers from the reserve team for the session to prepare for the match against Real Betis. Instead, only Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny and Ter Stegen took part, with the German working at a lower intensity than his fellow goalkeepers. Despite this, Ter Stegen is not expected to receive medical clearance for Saturday's match against Real Betis, but he could be given the green light by the medical staff next week to rejoin the squad list."
Marc-André ter Stegen has not played this season after suffering a summer injury that required surgery. The 33-year-old goalkeeper has spent over four months in rehabilitation and has recently resumed group training. He has completed multiple sessions, showing positive progress with no recurrence of the back pain that caused the operation. A recent training session omitted reserve goalkeepers, featuring only Joan Garcia, Wojciech Szczesny and Ter Stegen, with Ter Stegen working at lower intensity. Medical clearance is not expected for the upcoming Saturday match, but clearance could arrive next week. His future remains uncertain ahead of the January window.
