Barcelona midfielder Ibrahim Afellay will undergo surgery on Monday.
Afellay tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during training a week ago and the Holland international will go under the knife at 1400 local time on Monday.
Barca have not indicated how long the 25-year-old will be sidelined for.
Afellay, who joined Barca from PSV Eindhoven in January, had only just got back into Pep Guardiola's line-up after missing the start of the Primera Division season due to a hamstring injury.
