Philippe Coutinho may have already played his last minutes in an FC Barcelona shirt. The Brazilian playmaker, the club’s record transfer, has been out with a knee injury since the last match of 2020, against Eibar. Originally, he was supposed to be out for three months. He should have been ready to return around this time. Instead, his return has been delayed.
According to Catalan media, he had to receive another procedure to his left knee. But even that hasn’t fixed the problems. The player is now in the hands of the Brazil national team doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, who removed a cyst from Coutinho’s knee.
