BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite will need surgery on his left knee, the Catalan club said Monday.
Barcelona said the Danish player has not responded well to conservative treatment and will undergo surgery in the coming days.
Barcelona did not say how long Braithwaite is expected to be sidelined.
He had made three appearances in the Spanish league this season, scoring twice and setting up a goal in Barcelona's opening 4-2 victory over Real Sociedad.
