Overview

• The 21-year-old has been sidelined since late August with right-knee pain later identified as a radial meniscus injury.
• The arthroscopy is set for Tuesday and will be performed by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau under the supervision of Barcelona’s medical staff.
• The club did not provide a return timeline, though media reports estimate meniscus arthroscopy often requires at least five weeks of recovery.
• It is the same knee that sustained an ACL tear and meniscus damage in 2023, with surgery then keeping him out for about a year.
• Barcelona also confirmed Fermin López has a muscular hip injury expected to sideline him for around three weeks, joining Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Marc-André ter Stegen on the injury list.
