Coutinho, operated successfully: Barça communicates his time off

The FC Barcelona has issued an official communiqué on Philippe Coutinho, that has been operated of his knee after the injury that suffered in the party of LaLiga Santander​ against the Eibar. "The player of the first team Philippe Coutinho has been taken part satisfactorily, this Saturday 2 January, of the injury in the external meniscus of the left knee", explained the press release.

The communiqué, besides, specified that "the time of drop approximated will be of three months", going back to the terrains of game in April, and remembered that "the Brazilian lesionó in the last party of 2020, against the Eibar in the Camp Nou. This season, Coutinho has contested a total of 14 parties, in which it has annotated three goals and has delivered two assistances".

It is necessary to remember that Philippe Coutinho had not been headline in the party against the Eibar, but it went in in the minute 66 substituting to Antoine Griezmann when the result was of 0-1 favourable to the Basque group. His contribution was a so much discreet, although yes it starred a finish dangerous to centre of Martin Braithwaite that it could turn into the goal of the victory.

Now, the Brazilian has remained in the dry dam and, of course, will lose numerous parties of LaLiga Santander, of the Glass of Rey, of the Supercopa of Spain and of the Champions League. In domestic competition, will not play until the day 30; in the competition copera, would arrive to time for the hypothetical final but would lose all the other; and in Europe, will lose the parties of eighth against the PSG but would arrive to some hypothetical chambers.

A problem of double expensive

Apparently in the last parties, Philippe Coutinho had finish yielding the titularity in favour of Pedri. The Brazilian began the season to a very good level, but a muscular injury -that had him several weeks out of the terrains of game- separated him of this position of mediapunta in which it felt so comfortable and still had not been able to recover his best version.

It is thus that the FC Barcelona planned the traspaso of the midfield player carioca this same month of January, in addition to by economic reasons. The 12 million annual euros of index card that has Philippe Coutinho joins to that if the Brazilian plays eight parties more as Barcelona, the culés will have to pay 20 'kilos' more to the Liverpool. After confirming the gravity of his injury, the sale antoja impossible. The Barça has lost to an effective of the staff and an opportunity to do box.
