In a Monday statement from the club’s website, Barça announced, “The Barça goalkeeper will undergo a surgical process on Monday following the knee injury sustained in the game against Villarreal.”
Tests have revealed the full extent of the damage. “Tests carried out on the first team player Marc ter Stegen confirm that he has a complete rupture of the patella tendon in his right knee,” the statement added.
In the aftermath of the injury, Fabrizio Romano on Tuesday via X revealed that Barcelona has approached Szczesny’s agents, CAA Stellar, to explore possible terms.
Szczesny, who had announced his retirement earlier this summer, is now being reconsidered for a return to the pitch.
“Barça want to understand his situation,” Romano noted, as the club seeks an experienced replacement.
