GIRONA, Spain (AP) – Injured Germany goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left hamstring on Friday and is unlikely to play. world cup I’m wondering.
La Liga side Girona announced on Wednesday that 33-year-old Ter Stegen’s return date will be decided after surgery.
The hamstring injury was confirmed earlier this week after Ter Stegen’s second game since joining Girona on loan from fellow Catalan club Barcelona, losing his starting place to Joao Garcia.
Ter Stegen helped Girona to a 1-1 draw with Getafe in his debut for the club last week. Girona lost 1-0 to Oviedo on Saturday due to injuries.
Ter Stegen has only played a handful of games in the past 15 months due to injury, but the surgery could damage his chances of becoming Germany’s starting goalkeeper at the World Cup, over strong opposition from Hoffenheim goalkeeper Oliver Baumann. The World Cup begins on June 11th.
Girona are 12th in La Liga.
