Barca News
After Barcelona achieved a difficult victory over Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the 15th round of La Liga yesterday, Sunday, Mundo Deportivo shocked the Blaugrana fans when it announced a mystery surrounding the injury of one of the team’s most prominent stars and confirmed that he may need surgery to recover, which is something the Catalan club is trying to do. Stay away from him as much as possible.
Xavi Hernández left a worrying phrase in the air in his post-match press conference. Asked about Marc-André Ter Stegen , the Barça coach said: “Marc has some discomfort in his back and we are going to see this week how things are, anything we have to announce we will say. He has those discomforts that he can’t quite clean up.” and let’s see.”
In this sentence, the coach left in the air the possibility that the German goalkeeper would have to be out for more time or even (although without saying so) that he would have to undergo surgery. This was confirmed by locker room sources. In any case, it is expected that this Monday more things will be known about the physical condition of the German goalkeeper.
Ter Stegen was absent from the German team during the last international break due to low back pain that has been treated with conservative treatment. However, he has missed three games with Barça , those of Rayo Vallecano , Porto and Atlético de Madrid .
This Monday he will undergo more tests to determine what to do with those pains that do not subside and that make him unable to play. Hence Xavi said in his press conference that “anything we have to announce we will say.” It is expected that the player and the technical staff will clear up doubts shortly.
The operating room will be avoided as little as possible, but it is a possibility to study given that the player’s discomfort has not subsided and it is a problem that cannot be ignored because it could become chronic.
