Barcelona defender Jeremy Mathieu is likely to miss the rest of the season after tearing his meniscus while on international duty with France.
The centre-back suffered the injury in Les Bleus' 4-2 win over Russia last night, and Barca confirmed the injury today.
In a statement, the La Liga leaders said: "Tests this morning confirmed that Mathieu has a torn meniscus in his right knee. The player will have an operation on Thursday."
The club did not specify how long the 32-year-old would be out for, but he is likely to miss the rest of the season and possibly be forced to sit out of Euro 2016.
