After Umtiti, more trouble for Barca with Coutinho
The Brazilian, who had surgery on his ankle a few days ago, could have more problems than expected to get back on track.
Philippe Coutinho still has not managed to get back on track. After some flashes of brilliance when he first arrived at Bayern Munich, the player ended up being inconsequential for the Bavarian team, who has already announced that it would not buy him for the price agreed at the time.
With the return of the Bundesliga season just around the corner, the player was aiming to shine in the final sprint of the championship, but he had to have surgery on his right ankle and was going to miss the restart.
On Sunday, it became clear that the operation did not go as expected and the 14 expected recovery days will not be enough.
'Mundo Deportivo' confirmed that the Brazilian could not play again at Bayern Munich this season, as he could be away for up to six weeks.
The news is bad for the player, who wanted to claim the end of the season, and for Barcelona, who hoped that it would be revalued in order to sell him at a better price to the Premier League.
The Brazilian's misfortunes continue, just a few hours after Samuel Umtiti's own calf injury. Bad news for Barça.
