Phil Coutinho has an injury to the lateral meniscus in his left knee. official statement from the club.
So out for pretty much the rest of the season then probably. The only good thing about this is we won't possibly see Coutinho, Griezmann and Messi playing together ever again, the bad news is that we won't be able to sell this bum come this summer. Oh yeah, almost forgot about the Liverpool clause, another fantastic news, we won't have to waste another 20M this January or even until the end of the season, hopefully this means he actually won't ever reach those 10 or so remaining games played, so we'd have to pay Liverpool another 20M, so it'd stay at 120-140M plus wages down the drain, not the full 160M.
I really hope the new president, let it be Font or Laporta decide on letting this guy go before he gets to play those remaining needed matches with us, before he'll be back from injury, they'll be at the helm for a while and will have hopefully already sorted out who needs to go by that time. As for Cou, it's now clear he's done at Barca, so why play him for those few matches..it'd be pretty much like putting 20M in a suitcase and setting it on fire.
