Barcelona’s long-term absentee likely to resume group training after Borussia Dortmund tie

According to a report from SPORT, Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen appears to be making excellent progress in his recovery and could return to group training after the match against Borussia Dortmund.

The German shot-stopper, who has been sidelined for six months due to a serious knee injury, was recently seen celebrating Barcelona’s impressive 4-1 victory over Girona alongside his teammates.

It is to be noted that the club has been sharing images of him engaging in goalkeeping drills, including making saves and diving for shots, indicating that he is gradually regaining his sharpness and confidence.

It is said that an injury of Ter Stegen’s magnitude typically requires a recovery period ranging from six to eight months, and while his return was never set to a strict timeline, his steady progress suggests he is on track to make a full comeback.

Barcelona’s medical team has been closely monitoring his rehabilitation, and so far, all signs point towards a successful recovery.
