Barcelona's captain Carles Puyol, plagued by injuries, is back on the operating table. At the beginning of March, the 35-year-old footballer underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove fluid and blood clots from his right knee, and on Tuesday, Spanish sports newspapers reported that the player will need another surgical intervention. C. Puyol is scheduled to undergo surgery on Wednesday. Medics will remove what is known as a Baker's cyst from the same right knee. It is a fluid-filled sac located beneath the attachment of the three-headed calf muscle tendon to the knee joint, and in 80 percent of cases, it is connected to the knee joint. Baker's cyst usually forms due to inflammation. Patients typically experience pressure, pulling sensation in the calf area, and have difficulty bending and fully extending the knee. "Barcelona" doctors who will operate on Catalan plan to hold a press conference on Wednesday to provide more information about the player's rehabilitation. Initially, the treatment may last 3-4 weeks. Due to the operation he underwent in the spring, C. Puyol was forced to end the season earlier than expected, and it is still unclear whether the veteran will be able to properly prepare for Barcelona's preseason matches cycle.
