Barcelona’s Marcos Alonso to Undergo Surgery, Adding to Squad’s Injury Woes
In a season marked by injury challenges, Barcelona faces another setback as veteran defender Marcos Alonso is set to undergo surgery for a back problem, akin to Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s ailment. The announcement comes amidst an injury-plagued squad that includes long-term absentee Gavi, with Ter Stegen, Pedri, and Inigo Martinez slated for a return in the coming weeks.
Alonso, who is likely to part ways with Barcelona when his contract expires at the end of the season, will follow a similar path to Ter Stegen in seeking surgical intervention. The surgery is scheduled for the initial week of 2024, and post-operation, Barcelona will assess the recovery timeline for Alonso, further complicating their current roster dynamics.
