The goalkeeper is in positive mood
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has posted a message on social media after a tough few days for the German star.
Ter Stegen has undergone surgery after sustaining a torn patellar during Sunday’s win over Villarreal in La Liga.
The goalkeeper is now expected to miss the majority of the 2024-25 season but is in positive mood and has thanked his many well-wishers for their support.
“I feel truly grateful to all the Barça fans, teammates, rivals, clubs and friends for the support and love you’ve shown me since Sunday. I want to thank the Villarreal supporters for their respect displayed in the stadium, it means a lot to me. I feel positive and strong, now I focus on my recovery. Thank you!”
Before Freddy Adu was forgotten, he was expected to be the savior of American soccer. Over the span of Adu’s long career, he set historic milestones, resurrected a dying league, and represented American soccer on the global stage. Yet, his career is viewed as a failure. How does a 14-year-old kid once dubbed as the next Pelé end up being remembered more as a wasted talent who cost himself the opportunity to be America’s greatest soccer player ever? Well, sometimes the lens we’re looking through can be a bit distorted.
It’s still not known if we will see Ter Stegen again this season. The goalkeeper is said to be targeting a return in May in the hope that Barca will still be fighting for titles.
Meanwhile, Barca are said to be trying to sign a replacement. Former Juventus and Arsenal stopper Wojciech Szczęsny appears to be the current favorite to come in.
