"Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen faces a critical moment as he works to recover from his injury. According to journalist Sergi de Juan from AS, once he is fully cleared medically, Ter Stegen will meet with Barcelona to decide his next step. While staying at the club is possible, it would mean accepting a backup role, but this is a scenario that seems unlikely given his ambitions and competitive nature."
"The German keeper had a second operation for lower back problems last July, and the aftermath caused tension at the club. Thankfully, the controversy has since settled, and now the focus is on his return. For now, Ter Stegen aims to be available starting in January, with his main goal being to compete with Joan Garcia for the starting spot in Barcelona's goal."
Marc-André ter Stegen is recovering from a second lower-back operation and aims to be available starting in January. Once fully cleared medically, he will meet with Barcelona to decide his next step. Staying at Barcelona would likely require accepting a backup role, limiting his ability to compete for the starting spot with Joan Garcia. Barcelona's sporting directors are prepared to retain him until season's end if he accepts a secondary role, but his high salary and contract through 2028 make transfers or loans difficult. Ter Stegen needs regular game time to remain a World Cup contender with Germany, so playing opportunities will determine his path.
