Girona have released a statement regarding Barcelona loanee Marc-André ter Stegen after he underwent surgery on Friday to treat a hamstring injury. The club described the operation as successful and indicated that the goalkeeper’s return will depend on how his recovery progresses.
The injury came only weeks after ter Stegen moved to Girona on loan, representing an early setback for both the player and his temporary club. The statement did not give a definitive timetable for his comeback, although earlier reports suggested he could miss at least two months of action.
That potential absence again casts doubt over his chances of featuring for Germany at the 2026 World Cup. Ter Stegen had switched clubs to seek regular playing time and will now be hoping to recover in time to return before the end of the season. Article date: February 8, 2026.
