That’s tough! Ter Stegen’s return set to be delayed further | OneFootball

No good news for FC Barcelona. As reported by 'Mundo Deportivo', a comeback for Marc-André ter Stegen seems to be even further away.

According to reports, the goalkeeper is not expected back until January at the earliest. Originally, the former Gladbach player was supposed to be back training on the field after his back surgery – but that has not been possible so far. Will he still return to the Barça goal?

Recently, rumors have been circulating that the Catalans want to offload the keeper, primarily to make room on the payroll.

Even though ter Stegen himself emphasized his desire to persevere, a transfer might be the most sensible option with the 2026 World Cup in mind.
