Barcelona said Tuesday Ter Stegen will undergo a surgical procedure to address lower back issues that have been bothering him recently. The Catalan club did not say for how long he is expected to be sidelined.
Ter Stegen played in eight of Germany’s first nine games in 2023 after regular starter Manuel Neuer broke his leg in December 2022 while on a ski trip following the World Cup. Neuer is fit again and playing regularly with Bayern Munich.
Ter Stegen has played 38 games for Germany over 11 years but has always been seen as Neuer’s backup. Ter Stegen is yet to play a single game at a World Cup or European Championship. Germany will host Euro 2024.
“ After intensive conversations with the medical team of the Club and various supporting experts, we decided to undergo a surgical procedure,
