Brazilian national team and "Barcelona" team defender Philippe Coutinho will miss three months of football after a successful left knee operation. The footballer got injured on December 29 in a match against the "Eibar" team. He started the match on the bench and did not finish the game after coming on the field in the second half. Coutinho scored three goals and made two assists this season. Currently, "Barcelona" cannot count on G. Pique, A. Fati, and S. Roberto due to injuries. The team is currently leading the Spanish "La Liga" rankings despite the injuries. Ronald Koeman's pupils will try to return to the path of victories in a match against "Huesca" footballers on January 3.
