German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has successfully undergone surgery on his thigh. The information was disclosed by the officials of Girona. With no information regarding the possible recovery time, there remains uncertainty about whether the 33-year-old goalkeeper will be able to recover in time to represent Germany in this year's World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. On social media, he indicated that he is expected to be sidelined for 'several months.' The goalkeeper was injured at the end of January in a La Liga match against Oviedo. He had moved to Girona on loan from Barcelona after losing his starting position in the team. After undergoing back surgery that kept him off the field from July to December of last year, his goal was to gain minutes at the new club to secure a place in the German national team for the World Cup — coach Julian Nagelsmann stated that he would only call up Ter Stegen if he played regularly.
