Marc-Andre ter Stegen speaks out after horror injury in Barcelona’s win over Villarreal

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has posted a message on social media after a tough few days for the German star.

Ter Stegen has undergone surgery after sustaining a torn patellar during Sunday’s win over Villarreal in La Liga.

The goalkeeper is now expected to miss the majority of the 2024-25 season but is in positive mood and has thanked his many well-wishers for their support.

“I feel truly grateful to all the Barça fans, teammates, rivals, clubs and friends for the support and love you’ve shown me since Sunday. I want to thank the Villarreal supporters for their respect displayed in the stadium, it means a lot to me.
