Barcelona Dealt Blow as Player Set for January Exit Picks up Injury in Training: Reports

Ter Stegen left Barcelona's Saudi camp for injury tests in Spain, risking January transfer plans and his starting role amid ongoing fitness concerns, sources said.

  • On Jan 6, 2026, Marc-André ter Stegen abandoned Barcelona's camp in Jeddah to return to Spain for medical tests after injuring himself in training on Tuesday.
  • Ter Stegen, 33, has struggled with injuries including a knee injury last year and recent back surgery, making just one appearance since returning from a back problem in December.
  • With Ter Stegen sidelined, Diego Kochen will fly to Jeddah as backup while Joan Garc�a, Barcelona goalkeeper , and Wojciech Szcz�sny start Wednesday.
  • The injury threatens Marc-André ter Stegen's January transfer plans, with sources warning any time out would likely scupper a move this month and leave him in a difficult position in a World Cup year as Barcelona are open to letting him leave.
  • With over 400 Barça appearances to his name, Marc-André ter Stegen's high salary complicates Girona's interest this month despite his significance to the club since joining from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
