"Out of respect for Marc, I never close the door completely, because it's his turn,"
"This is a dramatic injury that takes a long time to heal,"
"The worst part is that it's tight because you have to consider the overall timeframe. It's not like he played through last year completely; he was already out for a year."
Julian Nagelsmann says Marc-Andre ter Stegen's World Cup selection remains possible but is highly uncertain after hamstring surgery. Ter Stegen underwent surgery following a torn hamstring sustained shortly after moving on loan from Barcelona to Girona to seek regular playing time. The recovery timeline is unknown and the World Cup starts in June, leaving little margin. Nagelsmann emphasized any selection must make sense for both player and team and noted the injury is dramatic and slow to heal. He also pointed out ter Stegen had significant previous absence last year, reducing available recovery time.
