At 00:30 on September 23, in the sixth round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Villarreal 5-1 away from home. During this match, Ter Stegen suffered a severe knee injury and had to be substituted. Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois also posted a message on social media wishing him a speedy recovery.
Courtois wrote: “I’m sorry about your injury; seeing you leave the pitch like that makes me very sad. I hope you recover soon, and we’ll see you back on the field.”
It is reported that the initial diagnosis for Ter Stegen at the hospital is a complete rupture of the right knee patellar tendon, with an expected absence of 7-8 months.
Notably, Neuer has announced his retirement from the German national team, and this severe injury may deal a significant blow to Ter Stegen’s efforts to reclaim the number one spot in Germany.
