The medical headquarters of Barcelona confirmed that Rafigna tore the front cruciate ligament of the left knee in a match against Atletico.

25-year-old midfielder will have surgery in the coming days. The timing of recovery will be known after surgery, but there is a chance that this season Rafinha will not return to the field.

This is not the first serious injury in the career of the Spaniard - in September 2015, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, and in the spring of 2017 injured the meniscus.

This season, Rafina spent seven matches for Barcelona in all tournaments in which he scored one goal.
