Hansi Flick expressed deep concern over the severity of Ter Stegen’s injury, revealing that it resulted from an awkward landing and confirmed a complete rupture in the patella tendon.
Flick noted the emotional impact of Ter Stegen's injury, stating, 'We are all sad because it's a huge injury... at half-time, I said to the team, ‘Come on, we play for Marc…’.
The club confirmed that Ter Stegen will face surgery which will determine his recovery timeline, but there are initial fears he could miss up to eight months of play.
Following Ter Stegen's injury, academy graduate Inaki Pena has stepped up to the starting role, while 20-year-old Ander Astralaga will be promoted to the back-up position.
