Barcelona reveals date for midfielder Marc Berna’s surgery

Barcelona defensive midfielder Marc Bernal has suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 2-1 comeback victory against Rayo Vallecan. The youngster who was impressive in the pre-season twisted his knee and will now undergo surgery on Wednesday, September 4.

He has been seen walking with crutches since last week and will be operated on by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau who performed the surgery on Gavi. Berna will now go under the blade and is expected to be out for the remainder of the campaign.

The road to recovery will take around 9-12 months and there’s a good reason to believe he would be ready for the start of the next campaign.
