Ter Stegen's surgeon believes he will recover within three months, but the club wants to make room in its wage budget for new players Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford. According to LaLiga regulations, if Ter Stegen were ruled out for six months, the club could use 80 percent of his wages to sign another player.

Canizares thinks that Ter Stegen's insistence on returning to the pitch sooner than expected has created tension between the player and the club. He believes that a captain should be an example of good behavior and a team player, encouraging others to commit and perform well.

Canizares also made a comment about Germans being self-centered, suggesting that goalkeepers in particular are guilty of being selfish when they don't start playing. However, he noted that Ter Stegen's behavior has been particularly problematic.
