Barcelona striker Braithwate to have knee surgery amid reports Denmark international will be out until 2022

The Liga giants have suffered another attacking setback, with it revealed that the 30-year-old frontman is set to go under the knife

Barcelona have announced that Martin Braithwaite is set to undergo knee surgery, with a niggling knock for the Denmark international not responding to initial treatment.

He will be forced under the knife as a result, with the Liga giants being rocked by another blow to their attacking plans.

Having seen Lionel Messi depart as a free agent over the summer and new arrival Sergio Aguero pick up a calf complaint, while Ansu Fati eases his way back from a long-term knee problem, Braithwaite has now been added to the list of absentees at Camp Nou.
