Marc-André Ter Stegen has to be operated on again on the back. He announced that in front of his club. Not only that, but also another detail, is said to have upset the club.
A bitter setback for the goalkeeper at the start of the World Cup season. In addition, his club should now be upset because of the post. FC Barcelona did not like a detail.
Marc-André Ter Stegen explained to his fans: “After my last back surgery, I returned to the pitch after 66 days-almost two months. This time the doctors assume that as a precaution, about three months will be necessary to avoid risks.” According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport”, Barça did not like the fact that Germany’s number one announced the news in front of the club and was also so concrete.
The association itself did not provide any information about the downtime. He only wrote that the operation had to undergo the operation, and explained: “After the procedure, a new medical update will be published.”
Why is FC Barcelona supposedly unhappy that Marc-André Ter Stegen spoke of a downtime of three months? In the Spanish La Liga, a club can use 80 percent of its salary in a “lengthy injury” of a player from at least four months to register others as a replacement. However, since the German goalkeeper was in the forecast of the four months, this would not be possible for FC Barcelona.
The association was probably sought to sell the German goalkeeper. With Joan Garcia of Espanyol, Barça has signed a new stammer goalkeeper and also extended the Wojciech Szczęsny Wojciech Szcęsny for two years. For Marc-André Ter Stegen, both the club’s planning and the renewed operation come to the background, since the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA will take place in the coming year. To be there, the experienced goalkeeper needs game practice.
