The Marca reported that the well-known orthopedic surgeon Rippol talked about Ter Stegen's injury on the Sel radio program.

Terstegen announced his back injury through social media last night, announcing that he would undergo surgery in the near future and the estimated recovery time will take about 3 months. The statement caused controversy. Teshi confirmed the length of the injury before the club's official announcement (the Barcelona announcement did not mention the specific recovery period). This move is of great significance. If the medical committee does not determine that his injury is serious, La Liga will not allow Barcelona to use part of its salary to register its competitor Joan Garcia.

The well-known doctor Rippol said bluntly on the Sel radio program: "I understand the professional ethics of my peers, and they will not be easily influenced by public opinion. Whether Barcelona can register new players will change the league pattern, which involves the boundary between medical privacy and public right to know. If the player claims that the recovery period will take 6 weeks in the end, what is the significance of this prediction?"

With his professional experience, he boldly predicted: "The three-month recovery period is too optimistic. Although it cannot be asserted that the specific duration is similar to the case. Usually 4 months. As an athlete who undergoes spinal surgery after two knee surgeries, such an accurate estimate is surprising. When we explore the motivation behind it, the answer is tacit. "

Regarding the goalkeeper's disclosure method, Rippol criticized: "The most appropriate way should be to issue a statement after the operation. Although La Liga will review medical reports, the second spinal surgery is definitely not a short-term cure for the goalkeeper. The 3-month period is too tight, and statements at this time are prone to misunderstandings."
