Barcelona midfielder will likely miss Copa América after latest knee surgery Mar 25th 2021, 08:45, by Eduardo Razo FC Barcelona attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho will undergo another surgery on the meniscus of his left knee. As a result, the 28-year-old's spot within the Brazil national team is in jeopardy.  Coutinho injured his knee in December, and initially, Barça expected him to be out three months. The Spanish side hoped to have the Brazil international back in time for El Clasico against Real Madrid. However, this surgery puts him out for the remainder of the season; furthermore, there's no timetable now for his return.
