Official: Marc-Andre ter Stegen set to undergo surgery after injury during loan spell | Barca Universal

"As confirmed earlier this week, Barcelona veteran Marc-Andre ter Stegen, currently on loan at Girona, suffered a thigh injury during their game against Real Oviedo. The issue is understood to be quite serious and will keep him out of action for around three months at least. So much so that it led to talks of a possible return to Barça by cutting short his loan stint, although that has since been shot down."

"Marc-Andre ter Stegen will undergo surgery this Friday for the injury he suffered to the hamstring of his left leg during the match against Real Oviedo, the statement read. The recovery time will be determined after the procedure. 🏥 | COMUNICAT MÈDIC:Marc-André ter Stegen serà operat aquest divendres de la lesió que va patir a l'isquiotibial de la cama esquerra en el partit contra el Real Oviedo.

"Ter Stegen, who already missed four months of action earlier in the season after undergoing back surgery, will again be sidelined for a significant amount of time. It could have an adverse effect on Barcelona's summer plans as the Catalans had hoped to offload the German international permanently at the end of the season, and that his performances on loan at Girona would attract suitors."
