Viewer of Barcelona, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, is one of the three members of the team who will not travel to Japan and South Korea as part of their preseason tour. In his case, due to injury. Ter Stegen announced on Thursday that he would undergo surgery, which will in theory keep him out for three months.
The Blaugrana is said to be unhappy with Ter Stegen, who announced that he would be out of the back surgery for about three months, to resolve persistent pain that he has plagued to him since the international break of June. Many believed that Barcelona was planning to use the rule for emergency injuries in the case of Ter Stegen's operation, so that they could use 80% of his salary amount to register other players until January, including new signing and the competition from Ter Stegen for number one place, Joan Garcia.
Speaking with Cadena Ser, Dr. Guillermo Ripoll, a traumatologist and expert surgeon, from that the opportunities that Ter Stegen or Barcelona could lean on other doctors for a favorable report were slim.
“I hope that my colleagues I know if you allow me the discretion not to put names on the table, will not take the bait in that respect. They will say what they have to say.”
“They know that they hurt Barça, but it finds Elche, Real Sociedad … Whether Barca can register or not and let this step be influenced by the national football scene. This is very interesting. Where are the rights to keep their medical information secret, and where do the rights of others start? To what extent can you control information that affects third parties?”
Ripoll, however, said that La Liga would view the documents submitted to them, but it was unlikely that they disputed what they received.
“La Liga will most likely investigate the player, investigate the documents and give a statement, but they will not be able to be so accurate about it.”
Dr. Ripoll continued to say that the three -month recovery time announced by Ter Stegen seemed on the short side.
“Three months seem to me very tight. You can't say if it will be three or four, but in general it would be more on paper than four. A person who has had two knee operations, who is still undergoing a back operation … He is an extraordinary athlete, but it is striking that they are so accurate, and when you are a reason to find a reason, and you are not so good.”
Just as Barcelona was unhappy with Ter Stegen, the German Shot stopper was said to be very unhappy with the club. They not only signed his replacement and tell him that he will be the third choice, but stories about his character and professionalism were also leaked to the press, and many see this as his reaction.
