Dhaka, July 26 -- Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is set to undergo back surgery next week and will be sidelined for approximately three months, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The surgery is intended to address persistent lower back issues that have troubled the German international. "Today is a personally difficult day for me," Ter Stegen said in a statement.
"Physically I feel fit, but the pain hasn't gone away. After extensive consultations with Barcelona's medical staff and outside specialists, we've concluded that surgery is the quickest and safest route to full recovery."
