Coutinho injured the meniscus in his left knee playing a pass during Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Eibar.

The Brazilian was operated on this weekend and the Catalan club have since confirmed he will be out of action until April.

"Coutinho has been successfully operated on for the injury to his left meniscus," a short statement from Barça said. "He will be out for approximately three months."

In addition to Coutinho, Barca are also without forward Ansu Fati and defender Gerard Pique due to long-term injuries.
