Ter Stegen will probably have to give up on his dream of playing in the World Cup.

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered an incredibly awkward moment when he was unexpectedly turned away from the club's presidential election. The veteran shot-stopper was denied the chance to cast his ballot due to an unforeseen issue, missing his opportunity to have a say before Joan Laporta was ultimately declared as the winner.

The new president of FC Barcelona will be elected on Sunday. Marc-Andre ter Stegen tried in vain to cast his vote.

January is a notoriously bad time for buyers because nobody ever wants to sell top talent midway through the season. There are, however, exceptions to the rule. Some clubs need to raise funds to balance the books, while others can be left with not option but to unload an unhappy player who has made it clear that he wants to join a stronger side.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen faces a potential career crossroads after suffering a severe hamstring injury just two matches into his loan spell at Girona. The German goalkeeper is staring at a layoff of at least two months, with fears growing that surgery may be required to repair the damage. Barcelona and Girona are now in talks regarding the termination of his loan agreement.

Out-of-favour Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is reportedly set for a loan move to Girona. The German international was Barca's first-choice stopper for the best part of a decade but an untimely injury has led to him falling down the pecking order. With Joan Garcia now charged with starting between the sticks for the Blaugrana, Ter Stegen is nearing a January exit.
