Marc ter Stegen To Undergo Back Surgery, Vows Swift Return To FC Barcelona.
FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen has confirmed he will undergo back surgery after discussions with the club’s medical team and external specialists, who believe it offers the fastest and safest route to full recovery. Addressing fans via his official X account (formerly Twitter), he expressed his pride in wearing the club’s colours, both in moments of glory and during tough times, but admitted the decision was personally challenging.
Despite feeling physically and athletically strong, ter Stegen revealed he is still dealing with persistent pain. Reflecting on his previous back surgery, he noted he returned to action after just 66 days, but this time, medical experts have advised a cautious three-month recovery period to avoid any complications.
The goalkeeper shared the emotional toll of being sidelined, saying it was painful not to support his teammates during this time. However, he remained positive, describing the rehabilitation process as manageable with a clear roadmap ahead. Ter Stegen pledged to keep supporters updated on his recovery and thanked the Culers for their constant support.
