Barcelona vs Eibar – LaLiga He had to be taken away with an injury
D.despite the expectation that surrounded Philippe Coutinho in the preseason, the Brazilian’s 2020/21 campaign has not yet got off the ground.
Ronald Koeman also seems to have lost faith in the player as he started only three of the last eight games, and players like it Pedri and Martin Braithwaite are higher in the pecking order among the Dutch.
As if that wasn’t enough Coutinho was forced to get injured Eibar with complications in his left knee.
Koeman admitted himself afterwards that the extent of the injury was unknown and that further testing will be needed, but it appears to be just the last of the setbacks he has experienced in the Camp Nou.
It could be his second major injury this season, having already damaged his hamstring in the defeat to Clasico Real Madrid and be inoperative for a month.
Coutinho is just Barcelonalatest concern about injury, join Gerard Pique, Ansu fati and Sergi Roberto on the treatment tables.
What seemed like a redemption season for Coutinho now turns into a new disastrous campaign.
