German goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who is on loan at Girona, has suffered a serious thigh injury. According to Catalan journalist Gerard Romero, the goalkeeper may have injured his hamstring. Ter Stegen is currently undergoing medical examination and no final medical opinion has been given yet. If the goalkeeper requires surgery, this will lead to an early end to his time at Girona.
Ter Stegen joined Girona on a six-month loan from Barcelona in January this year. He has only played two games for his new club and has since been sidelined. Last year, the goalkeeper was out for a long time due to a back injury. This is Ter Stegen's sixth serious injury in the last four seasons, which has caused him to be out of action for a total of 449 days.

Girona goalkeeper Mark-Andre Ter Stegen has suffered a serious injury.
Idman.Biz reports that this was reported by the publication "SER Girona".
Currently, the medical staff of Girona and Barcelona are working to determine the exact diagnosis. However, it is already known that the goalkeeper will be out of action for at least 2 months, and this period may be extended.
It is noted that experts are currently awaiting the results of the final examination.
After these results, it will be clearer how long Ter Stegen will be out of the game. At the same time, the club does not rule out the possibility of his early return to Barcelona. This scenario is being considered depending on how the situation develops.
Let us remind you that Barcelona goalkeeper Mark-Andre Ter Stegen officially became a Girona player only recently. He has already appeared in two matches for the club and conceded two goals in these matches.
It is noted that the German goalkeeper is one of the main rivals of Vladislav Krapivtsov, a member of the Ukrainian youth national team.
