Ter Stegen will undergo surgery this Friday for his left hamstring injury

The German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will undergo surgery this Friday for the hamstring injury in his left leg that he suffered in the match against Real Oviedo, as reported this Wednesday by Girona FC, which specified that the time out will be determined once the surgical intervention is completed.

“Marc-André ter Stegen will undergo surgery this Friday for the injury he suffered in the hamstring of his left leg in the match against Real Oviedo. After the intervention, the time he will be out will be determined,” the Catalan club announced.

Recently loaned by FC Barcelona to the Gironí team, he had barely been able to play two LaLiga EA Sports games since his arrival. Ter Stegen made his debut with a draw against Getafe (1-1) in Montilivi and was again a starter in the defeat against bottom team Real Oviedo (1-0) in the Asturian capital, a match in which he ended up injured.

The operation represents a new setback for the German international, who had begun this stage at Girona with the aim of regaining competitive continuity after a period marked by physical problems and being able to compete in the 2026 World Cup this summer, which is becoming complicated or, in the worst case, impossible for him.

Furthermore, the possible prolonged absence of Ter Stegen represents an added problem for Míchel’s team, which no longer has Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic in its squad, who left the club in the winter market.

In this context, the Girona coach would have the only options available for the goal to be the Argentine Paulo Gazzaniga and the reserves’ goalkeepers to face the final stretch of the season, waiting to know the definitive extent of the German’s injury after the intervention.
