The Brazilian was sidelined for three months after his first operation and will now need extra recovery time after going back under the knife
Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho is set to miss the rest of the 2020-21 season after undergoing surgery on his knee injury for the second time.
Coutinho was a regular under Ronald Koeman in the first half of the campaign, but hasn’t played since December due to a serious meniscus problem, which was operated on the following month.
There was hope that the Brazilian would be back on the pitch in time to boost Barca’s bid for a domestic double, but the club have now confirmed that the playmaker has had to go back under the knife.
