Wants to be like Courtois. Ter Stegen plans to return at the end of the season

Yesterday, Barcelona cruised to a dominant 5-1 victory over Villarreal in the 6th round of La Liga, but the win was overshadowed by a severe injury to their captain and first-choice goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen. The German has been ruled out for the rest of the season, but he is determined not to give up.

Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, ter Stegen is eager to begin his rehabilitation process as soon as possible following surgery on a torn hamstring tendon.

Ter Stegen's goal is to make a comeback for the final matches of the season. He believes Barcelona will be competing for major trophies in May, and he wants to be part of that push.

Ter Stegen is looking to follow in the footsteps of Thibaut Courtois, who missed most of last season but made a successful return to play in the final stages of La Liga and the Champions League final.

Reminder: Barcelona is actively seeking to sign a replacement goalkeeper, with former Real Madrid and PSG shot-stopper Keylor Navas emerging as the leading candidate.
