Barcelona women’s football team has announced that their captain and two-time Ballon d’Or winner, Alexia Putellas, is set to undergo knee surgery. The 29-year-old forward, who recently faced a knee injury, will go through arthroscopy on her left knee on December 27, according to a statement from the club.
Recent Injury and Club Statement
Alexia Putellas had to depart from the national team training camp in Madrid last month due to a knee injury, preventing her from participating in recent matches with Barcelona. In response to her condition, the club issued a statement saying, “Barcelona women’s football star Alexia Putellas is undergoing this Wednesday, 27 December, an arthroscopy on her left knee.”
Official Medical Announcement to Follow Surgery
While the surgery is ongoing, the club has assured fans that an official medical announcement will be provided once the operation has concluded. The Barcelona community, as well as football enthusiasts, will be eagerly awaiting updates on the procedure and Putellas’ road to recovery.
Previous Injury Setbacks
This is not the first time Alexia Putellas has faced a setback due to a knee injury. She missed the 2022 European Championship due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, despite that setback, Putellas was a key part of Spain’s victorious World Cup squad earlier this year.
