Marc Bernal is set for a key week at Barcelona as he will undergo knee surgery and hold talks with the club over a new contract.

The teenager has been ruled out for the season after suffering a ruptured ACL against Rayo Vallecano and will now go under the knife. It’s a huge blow for the youngster who had begun the season in the first team and looked set for a breakthrough campaign.

Barcelona are well aware of this and want to reassure Bernal about his future by holding talks about extending his contract, according to Marca.
