The likely season-ending knee surgery to starting goalkeeper and captain Marc-André ter Stegen has been a giant blow to Barcelona in what has already been a brutal start to the season when it comes to injuries, and there’s no doubt that replacing the German will be a big challenge to Hansi Flick and his staff.
There have been several goalkeepers already linked with the Blaugrana less than one day after Ter Stegen’s surgery, and there seems to be an expectation that the Catalans will go to the market in some fashion, whether to sign a free agent or a player from another club in January, to have a new starting keeper until the end of the season.
