It has been clear for a few weeks now: Marc-André ter Stegen is the new number 1 in the DFB team's penalty box. Now the FC Barcelona goalkeeper has to be carried off the pitch after an awkward landing and there are fears of a serious injury.
National football goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen suffered a knee injury in FC Barcelona's match against Villarreal FC. The 32-year-old landed on his right foot while defending a corner kick just before half-time and fell to the grass.

The Barca captain was carried off the pitch on a stretcher and in tears; coach Hansi Flick looked on with a worried expression. A diagnosis was still pending on Sunday evening. Ter Stegen's side initially only reported the goalkeeper was replaced due to an injury.
The first German League-Profi becomes the new number one in the German national team after Manuel Neuer's resignation. The DFB selection will be played in the Nations League in October in Bosnia-Herzegovina and against Dutch.
