Barcelona player Alexia Putellas will undergo a revision arthroscopy on her left knee this Wednesday, as reported by the Barça club on Tuesday. The intervention will serve to examine the discomfort that the soccer player has been experiencing since last November 14 and that has prevented her from playing the last official matches with her team.
Although the various tests and scans carried out at both Barça and the national team have ruled out a serious injury, a simple arthroscopy was chosen to thoroughly examine the knee, a decision that Alexia made after consulting with doctors.
In the statement, the Barça entity specified that "at the end of the intervention the club will provide a new medical report" on the player's injury.
Alexia Putellas, who last week met with Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, has had this ailment in her left knee since the Champions League group stage match that Barcelona played against Benfica. To date, the 2021 and 2022 Ballon d'Or winner had exercised separately from her teammates.
After more than a month in the dry dock, the club's medical services have decided that he will undergo surgery to find out the reason for this ailment.
Before suffering these discomforts, the 29-year-old Mollet midfielder had played eight games with Barça this season - seven in the F League and one in the Champions League - in which she had scored four goals.
In July 2022, Alexia Putellas suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the same knee that did not allow her to play for Barcelona and the Spanish national team until the last stretch of the 2022-23 season.
