"Former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann is in a fix after a fresh injury to an important player. Germany's senior goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been ruled out for the next few months with a hamstring injury. With the FIFA World Cup barely a few months away, it is highly unlikely that Ter Stegen would be fully available for the tournament with the highest stakes in the game."
"However, being the talented man manager he is, Nags focused on providing what's best for Ter Stegen in the immediate future - total support. "Right now, the only thing that matters is getting healthy, in calm and without pressure. We all stand behind him. Now we have to continue to do without him. But for Marc personally, this setback is of course much harder," said Nagelsmann backing his goalkeeper."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been ruled out for the next few months with a hamstring injury, making his World Cup availability unlikely. Julian Nagelsmann described the setback as incredibly bitter and emphasized total support for the goalkeeper. Nagelsmann urged a calm, pressure-free recovery and said the team stands behind Ter Stegen. Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann is the most likely replacement given his top-level experience. Noah Atubolu, Finn Dahmen and Alexander Nübel are available as backups. The combined senior appearances of those backups total eight caps, and they lack the Champions League and international experience of Ter Stegen and Manuel Neuer.
