The Girona club issued an official medical statement confirming that German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen underwent surgery following an injury. The statement noted that the surgical procedure was successful and that his return to the field will depend on the progress of his condition during the recovery period.

Ter Stegen moved to Girona on loan from Barcelona on January 20, 2026, and played only two official matches with the team before getting injured, which dealt a significant blow to the Catalan team's ambitions for the goalkeeper position this season.

The club clarified that the duration of the player's absence has not been determined yet, as his condition will be continuously assessed by the medical team to establish an appropriate timeline for his return, depending on his response to treatment and the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process.

Girona hopes for a swift recovery for Ter Stegen and his return to the field as soon as possible, especially given his vast experience and importance as a goalkeeper, with the aim of his contribution to the rest of the team's matches this season.
