Barcelona not ruling out veteran’s return from injury before season ends | OneFootball

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is making remarkable progress in his recovery, much to the delight of the club and its supporters.

In fact, recent reports from SPORT suggest that his rehabilitation is advancing faster than expected.

Initially, the club had little hope of seeing the German goalkeeper back in action this season. However, his impressive progress has sparked optimism that he might return in the final month of competition.

Hansi Flick’s update

The development is seen as a pleasant surprise for Barcelona. Coach Hansi Flick has expressed satisfaction with ter Stegen’s steady recovery.

The goalkeeper has already resumed training on the pitch under the guidance of goalkeeper coach De la Fuente.

Flick highlighted that ter Stegen has made significant strides not just in terms of his rehabilitation but also in his overall physical condition, which is a positive sign for the team.

“He has already done training with De la Fuente – goalkeeper coach – and the truth is that he is going very well, he has also improved a lot on a physical level. The truth is that it is going very well,” said the manager.

While the coach refrained from sharing too many details, his confidence was evident. He emphasised that matters related to a player’s recovery are kept internal, involving only the coaching staff and medical professionals.

Ter Stegen’s return would be a significant boost for Barcelona as they go through the final stages of the season. Known for his shot-stopping ability and composure under pressure, the German international remains a key figure in Barça’s squad.

Barcelona fans will be eager to see if this positive trajectory continues, leading to his anticipated comeback. As it stands, the club is taking a cautious approach, but the progress ter Stegen has made so far is undeniably encouraging.

Should he fully recover in time, it would be a morale-boosting development for the Catalan giants in their pursuit of success this season.
