Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - Out for next two months Ter Stegen (back) will be out for the next two months as he continues to recover from back surgery, June Lavin of Relevo announced Tuesday. Impact Ter Stegen seems to still be a decent ways away from a return after undergoing surgery on his back, not being expected to return for another two months despite aiming for a return by their round of 16 matches in the UCL. A longer wait on his return is not what the club was hoping to hear, as the keeper has been their regular starter for the better part of eight seasons now. He could return sooner than expected, which would be a huge boost for the faltering Barcelona squad, but if not, expect a return around the club's Mar. 3 match against Athletico Madrid. Until the goalie makes his debut back on the pitch, expect Inkai Pena to continue to start in net.
