(Reuters) - Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will undergo surgery on Monday after suffering a complete rupture of the patella tendon in his right knee, the LaLiga club said.

New Zealand pilot Phillip Mehrtens talks to the media during a news conference after his release, in Timika, Papua province, Indonesia on Saturday, Sep 21, 2024. - File photo: AP

Sebby Sambom, a spokesman for the group, said the Indonesian government gave money to the acting chief of the Papuan district where Mehrtens was freed, accusing him of then paying the rebels, without providing evidence. "I think this is a disgrace, frankly, that it's even suggested that a bribe was paid -- we don't pay ransoms, we don't pay bribes," Peters told Radio New Zealand on Monday.

"There was no request for money or any conditions from Egianus Kogoya for the pilot's release," said Bayu Suseno, referring to the rival rebel leader accused of taking the payment.
