Mark-Andre ter Stegen has been training in the gym in recent days. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The goalkeeper's absence from full training seemed to be related to a dispute between the player and the club. The "Barcelona" team was not considering ter Stegen as their first-choice goalkeeper.
However, the reality is different. Serious problems have been identified in the 33-year-old goalkeeper's back area.
Currently, ter Stegen and the doctors are looking for the best solution between conservative treatment and surgical intervention. If surgery is performed, the goalkeeper is expected to be sidelined for about four months, according to the Spanish publication Sport.
For this reason, Mark-Andre ter Stegen will not leave "Barcelona" this summer. He is trying to recover his health and may start looking for a new team in the winter season.
This will help him gain regular playing practice ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
