Barcelona captain Marc-André ter Stegen offered an update on his injury rehabilitation.
The German international is not expected to feature again this season after undergoing surgery on a knee injury in late September.
Barcelona responded quickly to the situation, with a deputy stopper Overlap Pena intervenes as cover, and veteran star Wojciech Szczesny join as a non-emergency transfer.
Ter Stegen attended Barcelona's 125th anniversary gala tonight, in a break from his structured rehabilitation plan, and admitted there is still a long way to go.
“Everything is fine and I am in good hands with the club. But we are still in a recovery phase where everything takes a long time,” he said.
According to previous reports from Sports newspaperTer Stegen is undergoing a new stem cell treatment, which has proven successful in previous cases. He is known to heal injuries faster, and Barcelona are quietly optimistic that they could have their No.1 back before the end of the season.
