Hansi Flick talks Marc-André ter Stegen comeback as goalkeeper returns to training after knee surgery

Barcelona received quite the boost on Monday as club captain and starting goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen returned to training with his teammates for the first time since suffering a gruesome knee injury against Villarreal back in September.

The German is now on the path to making a comeback sometime before the end of the season, and Hansi Flick was asked in a press conference on Tuesday when Ter Stegen could be making his return.

Flick made it clear that the coaching staff will take it step by step with Ter Stegen’s recovery, and said there’s more than enough time to make sure the shot-stopper is completely healthy to step in between the sticks again.
