The Argentine has been out for thirteen months and is not expected to make the pre-season...
6 Jun 2009
Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito has reportedly had to have arthroscopic surgery on his injured knee.
The official Barcelona website reports that the player has gone back to Bueno Aires and that he was set to have the operation yesterday.
The news is yet another blow to the Argentine, who had his initial surgery in May last year and has not played since.
At the time, it was predicted that he would be out for around six to nine months but now, thirteen months later, he is still not ready to return.
This intervention might well improve his situation in the long-term but it will mean that he is highly unlikely to return for pre-season.
The 28-year-old will be hoping to come back at some point in the next campaign, especially after missing the treble success of this season.
Worryingly, there is no date set for his comeback, though, and it could still be some time before he does set foot on a football field again.
Without him at the back, Barcelona performed admirably last season, with Gerard Pique, Carles Puyol and Rafael Marquez all looking impressive.
The trio are all set to stay on at the club beyond this season, so whether Milito will get a place when he does eventually return is not clear.
