"We'll see if I can play the summer Nations League "- Ter Stegen

Marc-André Ter Stegen is aiming to make his return to international duty this summer, hoping to feature for Germany in the UEFA Nations League after a long spell on the sidelines due to a knee injury.

The Barca goalkeeper underwent surgery in November 2024 after suffering the injury in early October, which forced him to miss many crucial club and international fixtures.

Now back in active training for Barca, Ter Stegen is slowly regaining fitness and could be between the posts for the Catalans soon.

Speaking about his recovery and potential return to the national team, the 31-year-old said: “It’s important to play for Barça and we’ll see if I can be in the Nations League.”

Germany will be counting on experienced players like Stegen as they prepare for the competition this summer with a big semi-final lined up against Portugal.

Although no official decision has been made regarding Stegen’s call-up this summer, his fitness progress and desire to return makes the comeback closer and he will be aiming to be in the sticks for club and country very soon while showing his best level.
