Philippe Coutinho has been successfully operated on for the injury to the external meniscus of his left knee
The Brazilian international had his left meniscus operated on after sustaining an injury during Barcelona's 1-1 draw with Eibar on December 29.
Coutinho started the game on the bench and came on in the second half, but limped off the pitch during stoppage time as Barcelona finished the match with 10 men having made all their substitutions.
Coutinho, who returned to Barca this season after a successful loan spell with Bayern Munich, has three goals and two assists in all competitions. He joins a growing injury list that already includes Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, and Sergi Roberto.
Barcelona have endured a torrid start to their La Liga campaign and sit sixth in the La Liga standings on 25 points from 15 games, seven behind leaders Atletico Madrid who have two games in hand.
