Barcelona have revealed that Martin Braithwaite has undergone "a successful operation" on his injured knee, with the attacker now on the road to recovery.

The 30-year-old has scored twice and registered one assist in three La Liga appearances at the start of the 2021-22 campaign but picked up a knee problem during the clash with Getafe at the end of August.

Braithwaite was absent for the Champions League game against Bayern Munich during the week, and the Denmark international is now facing an extended period on the sidelines.

"Martin Braithwaite has undergone a successful operation on a patellofemoral injury (on the region between the kneecap and femur) in his left leg. Doctors Juan Carles Monllau and Jordi Puigdellívol conducted surgery under supervision of the FC Barcelona Medical Service," read a statement on the club's official website.

Braithwaite, who has three years left to run on his contract at Camp Nou, has scored 10 times and registered five assists in 56 appearances for Barcelona in all competitions.

The Dane is expected to be on the sidelines for the next three to four months. body check tags ::
