A longer injury break awaits Barcelona's star goalkeeper and team captain Marc-André ter Stegen. The patellar tendon in his right knee is torn and the German is forced to undergo surgery, reports the Catalan club.
It was in Sunday's league match against Villarreal that ter Stegen injured himself and was carried out on a stretcher. Barcelona is not providing a prognosis for the 32-year-old's return to the football pitch before the operation, but according to information in Spanish media, ter Stegen is likely to be out for seven to eight months.
