Barcelona have confirmed that Philippe Coutinho will undergo knee surgery on Saturday.
The Brazil international picked up a serious injury late on in Barca’s 1-1 draw against Eibar and is now set for a significant spell on the sidelines.
Barcelona are likely to confirm after the operation how much time Coutinho will miss, but it certainly seems as though it will be months before we see the 28-year-old back in action.
The best case scenario for Coutinho is reportedly 2-3 months on the sidelines, but he could be out for up to four months if his damaged mensicus requires suturing, according to AS.
