Coutinho set to miss rest of 2020-21 season after undergoing surgery on knee injury for second time

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.
