GIRONA, Spain (AP) — Girona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen’s injured left hamstring was confirmed on Monday following his second match since joining from fellow Catalan club Barcelona.

Girona said Ter Stegen will undergo more tests to finalize the diagnosis and establish a recovery timeline.

The 33-year-old Ter Stegen was sent to Girona on a loan after losing his starting position to Joan García. He was key to helping Girona secure a 1-1 draw against Getafe in his debut with the club last week. Girona lost to Oviedo 1-0 on Saturday when he was injured.

The loan move could boost Ter Stegen’s chances of being Germany’s starting goalkeeper at the World Cup after injuries restricted him to just a handful of games in the last 15 months.

He played only once for Barcelona this season and that was against third-division Guadalajara in the Copa del Rey last month.

Girona sits in 12th place in La Liga.
