After only playing nine games in 2024-2025 due to a ruptured kneecap, the German goalkeeper will most likely have to undergo surgery to resolve the back problems he has been suffering from since the start of preseason.

Sport says doctors have recommended surgery for the 33-year-old goalkeeper, without which no recovery would be guaranteed.
This operation would mean an absence of approximately four months for Ter Stegen. The news could shake up the German's future at FC Barcelona.
Pushed towards the exit by Blaugrana management, it will now be more difficult to find him a new club. He is under contract until June 2028.
