Barcelona's Juan Núñez Undergoes Second Knee Surgery, Out About Six Months

An exploratory arthroscopy removed a meniscal cyst after conservative rehab failed.

Overview

  • The procedure at the Hospital de Barcelona was performed by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau under the supervision of the club’s medical staff.
  • Surgeons removed a meniscal cyst and reinforced the meniscal sutures from his March 11 operation.
  • The decision came weeks after his September 6 preseason return, when persistent inflammation in the right knee resurfaced.
  • Barcelona estimates a recovery of about six months, which likely keeps him out until around April 2026.
  • His absence leaves Tomas Satoransky and Juani Marcos as the first team’s only pure point guards.
