The Spanish team lost another one of their players - Brazilian defender Edmilson will not be able to play for a long time due to a serious injury. Brazil suffered the injury on Sunday in the 6th round of La Liga matches with the team.
The 28-year-old Edmilson, who arrived at "Barca" for 10 million euros from the team, suffered the injury just a few minutes after replacing Samuel Eto'o on the field. Edmilson attempted a header and landed awkwardly. After the match, medical tests revealed that both the player's right knee tendons and ligaments were damaged.
On Monday, the player underwent surgery at the Asepeyo clinic in Barcelona, after which the extent of the injury and how long the player will be unable to help the club should be finally determined. It is believed that the player's return to the field could take up to 6 months.
Edmilson joined other injured "Barca" players - Gabri, Sylvinho, Albert Jorquera, who are unable to help the team due to various injuries.
