"Barcelona" defender Philippe will undergo knee surgery in the near future. The football player suffered an injury in Tuesday's match against the "Eibar" team. The 28-year-old player stepped onto the field in the 66th minute of the game, but had to leave the match due to injury. "The tests showed that the main team's defender P. Coutinho has injured the lateral meniscus of his left knee. Surgery will be needed, which will be performed in the coming days," the statement says. P. Coutinho has scored three goals and made two assists this season. The Brazilian, who has dropped out of the lineup, joins G. Pigue, A. Fati and S. Roberto, who have also suffered injuries and are currently unable to help the team. "Barcelona" is currently in seventh position in the Spanish "La Liga" championship with 25 points, trailing seven points behind the first-placed Madrid "Atletico".
