FC Barcelona and the German national team are worried about their goalkeeper. Marc-André ter Stegen is likely to have suffered a serious knee injury in Sunday's championship match.
FC Barcelona could possibly pay dearly for their 5:1 victory at Villarreal. Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen came down on his right leg during a defensive action following an opponent's corner shortly before the break and immediately fell to the turf. The Barça captain had to be carried off the pitch on a stretcher and was then taken to hospital.
A diagnosis had not yet been made on Sunday evening. However, he is likely to be out for a longer period of time, which would also be a big blow for national team coach Julian Nagelsmann. "We're very happy about the win, but in truth sad because I think it's a serious injury," said Barça coach Hansi Flick during the press conference after his side's sixth win in six league games.
