Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen has been ruled out for eight months after he suffered a knee injury at the end of the first half of the match against Villarreal in the La Liga.

Ter Stegen collapsed after coming out to claim a Villarreal corner kick, and he was immediately replaced by Barcelona second choice Inaki Pena.

Ter Stegen was carried off the pitch with a stretcher. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed the extent of the injury, stating it is huge and serious.

Inclusively, Hansi Flick calmed; he doesn’t know the goalkeeper’s date of return until he undergoes further testing on his injured knee.

In the post-match press conference, Flick said, “It doesn’t look good for Marc. We have to wait to know the full diagnosis of the injury, but it’s true it does appear to be really serious.”

“This injury makes us sad. When you win 5-1 at Villarreal, the fans here in the stadium, also those watching on television, saw a fantastic match.”

“Also from Villarreal, they played with unbelievable speed and were dynamic in the match. With great goals from us, we are very happy with the 5-1, but at the end we are sad because I think the injury will be huge, but we have to wait for information.”

“At the end, the team has good character, Barça’s ability to overcome setbacks this season. I would say the attitude is unbelievably good.”
