World Sports: Ter Stegen considers having back injury surgery, he will not participate in Japan and Korea preseason

5:03am, 21 July 2025Football

Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen is facing a critical decision week to determine how to deal with the back problems that have been plaguing him since the beginning of the preseason.

The German country is considering solving these problems through surgery, which led to his surgery in Bordeaux on December 7, 2023. The surgeon is Dr. Amelle Leglis, who also performed surgery on Marcos Alvarez in January this year.

It is now certain that, as the team's first captain, Ter Stegen will not be on the flight to Kobe on Thursday, thus missing out on the upcoming trip to Japan and South Korea.

Telstegen's final decision will directly affect Barcelona's planning for La Liga fiscal fairness in the short term. If he eventually chooses to undergo surgery, he may be out of the box for four months. In this way, the club can use 80% of his salary to register another player, the most likely candidate is Garcia. Although more players can be registered with this part of the salary theoretically, the Spanish Football Association's regulations only allow one player to be replaced due to long-term injuries. Szczesni has signed a new contract valid until 2027, but since the contract was signed after his previous deal expired on June 30, it has not been officially registered. The club needs to ensure that Szczesny can be officially registered through a series of transfer operations, new sponsorship revenue and transfer of VIP seat operation rights. The results of these efforts will be reflected in Crowe's audit report.
