Ter Stegen Could not play the 'derbi' against the RCD Espanyol by fault of an inopportune injury and, as it recognised Ernesto Valverde in press conference, also has almost impossible to arrive to time to play the Supercopa of Spain in Saudi Arabia. Together with Arthur Melo and Ousmane Dembélé, the guardameta German did not exercise beside the rest of his mates this past 5 January, in the day before of Kings.
Instead of this followed making specific work to recover of the tendinopatía that suffers in the left knee, and that is combating with a conservative treatment. This methodology of recovery, therefore, will avoid that the cancerbero germano was under sticks in the semifinal of the Supercopa of Spain against the Athletic of Madrid, this next Thursday 9 January.
The most likely is that Ter Stegen trip to Saudi Arabia with the rest of the staff and, from there, follow with his recovery for, perhaps, expect to the final if it is that it could not play against the Athletic. It results more logical to think, in any case, that the international German finish his conservative treatment as it is had to and yield his place in a hypothetical final to Net Walled.
Of this form, to see again to Marc-André ter Stegen defending the goal culé will have to expect, with all probability, to the day 20 of LaLiga Santander 2019-20 against the Granada in the Camp Nou, foreseen for 19 January. Then it will have happened almost a just month from his last apparition in front of the Sportive Alavés, a time the sufficiently prudential as so that it recover of his physical problems.
Ter Stegen Works to reappear in front of the Granada
The German archer already concentrates to reappear in this date and no before, since neither Ernesto Valverde, neither the medical services neither he same want to force the situation and risk to the apparition of an injury of greater gravity, that merme the presence and the performance of Ter Stegen just when it arrives the stretch of parties more decisive of the season 2019-20.
Once it reappear against the Granada, if it is that it is like this, it will be necessary to expect that the problems of Ter Stegen do not go back to appear and, if it exists still some annoyance, that at least do not affect to his performance. The player had debated between going through the operating theatre or make this conservative treatment, and finally opted by the second option. We will see if it is the suitable.
