Barcelona's defender underwent surgery. The club hasn't provided a timeline for his return

Barcelona's defender Marcos Alonso successfully underwent surgery on his lower back at a clinic in Bordeaux, France. The club hasn't provided a specific timeline for his return to the field, emphasizing that it depends on his recovery progress.

Previous reports indicated that Alonso's full recovery would take several months, possibly delaying his return to the Barcelona squad until at least March.

In the current season, the 33-year-old has only appeared in seven matches for Barcelona across all competitions, totaling 299 minutes of play. He featured four times in La Liga and three times in the Champions League.

Alonso's contract with Barcelona expires next summer, and it's anticipated that he'll leave the Catalan club as a free agent.

Additionally, there have been reports of delays in the return of Barcelona's key player Pedri, who will miss the Spanish Super Cup matches.
