Barcelona’s Ter Stegen has emerged as Germany’s first-choice goalkeeper after Manuel Neuer announced his departure from the German national team, but the 32-year-old suffered a ruptured right knee ligament during Sunday’s 5-1 win at Villarreal and will need surgery that will keep him out for eight to nine months. 

That has prompted Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann to come up with a new first-choice goalkeeper, with several names on the list, and Sky Germany are giving fans in Germany a chance to vote for him.

According to Sky Germany, the list includes Stuttgart’s Alexander Nubel, Eintracht Frankfurt’s Kevin Trapp, Hoffenheim’s Oliver Baumann, Fulham’s Bernd Leno, Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu and Manchester City’s Stefan Ortega. 

Of the approximately 7,000 fans who initially voted, 63 percent of the vote went to 27-year-old Nübel, ahead of second-placed Ortega and Trapp, who each received 14 percent, while Baumann, Atubolu and Leno received just four, three and two percent respectively.
