Barcelona maintained their unbeaten start to the La Liga season with a 5-1 victory over Villarreal but it's a victory that will cause concern for manager Hansi Flick as star keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was stretchered off in tears before halftime due to a knee injury.

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has left the field on a stretcher after sustaining a knee injury in the team’s 5-1 win over Villarreal in the Spanish league.

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.
