Ter Stegen advances steadily and FC Barcelona is hopeful about his recovery

The recovery of Marc-André Ter Stegen is progressing at a speed that only a 'superhero' like the German can achieve. After suffering a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee, all forecasts ruled out that the goalkeeper would return this season. However, the player continues to make positive progress and his intention is to shorten the timeline as much as possible to return to play this season.

The German has already been sidelined for five months, but little by little he begins to see the light at the end of the tunnel and the hopes that he will wear shorts again before the end of the current season are growing.

Ter Stegen takes a key step in his recovery

In fact, this Tuesday, for the first time since his injury against Villarreal, Ter Stegen began to do fieldwork with the ball on one of the pitches at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The goalkeeper shared this progress through his Instagram account, posting images of himself training with the ball and accompanying them with a strong message that read "Another day of progress".

Initially, it was expected that the goalkeeper would be out for eight months, ruling him out for the rest of the season. However, if his recovery continues to be favorable, at Can Barça they see it as possible that he could shorten this timeline, although both the club and the player are clear that they will not take any risks with his return and will continue to manage his recovery calmly and without rush, although optimism continues to grow around his progress.
