Barcelona's defender Rafinha will no longer play this season

"Barcelona" officially confirmed on their website that the 24-year-old team defender underwent surgery.

The academy graduate of "Barcelona" suffered a knee injury. It was hoped that the defender could avoid the operating table, but on Friday the footballer had a successful knee operation.

It is reported that besides football, Rafinha will have to miss about four months. This means that in this season the Brazilian Catalan fans will definitely not see him.

Although Rafinha was not a regular starter this season, he had the trust of Luis Enrique. Before the injury, the defender managed to play in 28 matches, score seven goals, and make five assists.
