VILLARREAL, Spain (Reuters) - Barcelona coach Hansi Flick did not want to speculate about the time goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen could spend on the sidelines but admitted the injury he sustained in their 5-1 win at Villarreal on Sunday was serious.
Barcelona maintained their perfect start in LaLiga with a sixth consecutive victory but the win was marred by possibly a season-ending injury of their German keeper.
