Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will have surgery on a ruptured knee tendon, the Catalan club said on Monday, with the club's captain potentially sidelined for the rest of the season.
The 32-year-old German international was stretchered off after falling awkwardly during his team's 5-1 victory over Villarreal on Sunday.
"On Monday afternoon (Ter Stegen) will undergo a surgical procedure and once completed a new update will be released," said Barcelona in a statement.
