'The chances are very slim' - Marc-Andre ter Stegen's World Cup 2026 hopes fading
"We spoke briefly the day before yesterday. He's always there when needed and when he can contribute. He doesn't just look out for himself, but also considers the team."
"Out of respect for him, I'm not going to close the door on the World Cup, but the chances are very slim; he's been out for almost a year."
"He needs to accelerate his rehabilitation. He's not in much pain anymore, but everything takes time. And he's not 21 anymore."
"It's still not clear when Ter Stegen will be able to return to action. Girona boss Michel said recently that the goalkeeper was back in Barcelona and that he did not know how his recovery was going."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen's chances of being selected for Germany's World Cup 2026 squad are very slim, according to Julian Nagelsmann. The goalkeeper has been sidelined with a hamstring injury and underwent surgery in February. He joined Girona on loan but has not been able to return to action. Nagelsmann acknowledges Ter Stegen's contributions to the team but emphasizes the need for him to accelerate his rehabilitation. Girona's coach, Michel, has stated that Ter Stegen's recovery timeline remains uncertain.
