In FC Barcelona's 5-1 victory against Villarreal, the club's only concern was the injury of their star goalkeeper, Ter Stegen.

Although the Blaugrana club went on to win the fixture comfortably, Ter Stegen's injury has caused a major headache for the board for the forward season. As a potential solution, the club is thinking of signing a replacement for him; however, the chances of the club continuing with Inaki Pena are still not ruled out. Also, recent reports suggest that the club's priority number 1 might return, and the club might depend on Pena for this season.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Ter Stegen is looking to return near the end of the season, as he believes Barça will be competing for a trophy at that point. Given Barca's recent form, it is much certain that they would stand a fair chance of fighting for a trophy at the end of the season, be it La Liga or the Champions League, and Ter Stegen wants to play an important cameo similar to what Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois did last season.
Not to forget, Thibaut Courtois, Real Madrid's priority number 1, had faced an ACL injury in preseason training, after which he was to set the majority of the season. However, returning in the last phase of the 2023/24 campaign, the Belgian international played a crucial role in helping his side win the Champions League that season. Registering a staggering 10 consecutive clean sheets, Courtois had zero goals conceded in his appearances for Real Madrid last season.

Overall, although Ter Stegen's injury has come as a major setback for the Blaugrana club, the German wants to help the club, returning in the last phase of the season. Culers would hope that their number 1 returns soon, helping the club register a major trophy this campaign.
