Viewant of Barcelona, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, seems to be in the last phases of his recovery, after tearing ligaments in his knee in September. After an operation and six months of rehabilitation, Ter Stegen recently returned to the training with the rest of the team, and now the question has arisen whether he will play again this summer.
The 32-year-old is the club captain, and for some time it has been the undisputed number one, but after a long injury, and with Barcelona in the heat of the title race, the Copa del Rey-final and the Champions League, there are doubts about whether it is a suitable moment to change goalkeepers. Moreover, Barcelona has to taste the defeat with Wojciech Szczesny, his signature of the injury replacement. The Polish veteran performed well after a shaky start.
“Only one keeper can play,” Ter Stegen Sport said with a smile during the 'Gentleman's Day' price ceremony. He further said that he would talk to manager Hansi about a potential return.
“It's not the right time to talk about these things. I hope alone [Champions League] semi -finals. There are few games left in just a few days. We all hope for success. Now it's time to end the recovery and return to group dynamics. It's about feelings. If I'm in order, I'll talk [Flick] About it and we will decide what is best for everyone. “
Before that, Ter Stegen also had friendly words for his competition, Szczesny.
“He performs very well; he has personality and experience. As a person he helps the children a lot every day. We can find it very well even before he drew at Barca. We are at a very good level, and he brings a lot to it, and we hope he will continue like this.”
Ter Stegen is on track to get the green light of the medical staff before the end of April, probably after the final of Copa del Rey. Previous reports have stated that Flick is planning to keep Szczesny in goal for the rest of the season, while titles are at stake, although Ter Stegen could get the chance to return to the field at a certain moment.
