Know about Barcelona’s forward Martin Braithwaite injury update and news along with the return date of the player
The trouble seems to be not ending for Barcelona as Braithwaite meets an injury. The forward last featured against Getafe before the international break. According to reports, Braithwaite has a problem in his knee that will keep him out for the rest of the year. He felt a severe knee injury during the training session. Earlier, it was expected that it’s a minor injury. Later on, it was confirmed that the knee will take some time to recover and Martin will be out for at least 3 months.
This will increase the tension for Barcelona’s management team as they are lacking attacking options. As of now, they have no attacking players with Barcelona’s experience except Coutinho. Memphis Depay and Lukee De Jong are new players who still need time to fit in the squad. So, here are all the details and updates about the injury of Martin Braithwaite including his return date.
Martin Braithwaite Injury Update, News Return Date And Matches He Will Miss
Since joining Barcelona in 2020, Braithwaite has found himself as one of the main players in the squad. Furthermore, he was signed as the replacement for Luis Suarez.

After playing the match against Getafe, Braithwaite joined the Danish international camp for the World Cup qualifier matches. Although, he didn’t feature in any of the matches and returned back to Barcelona. During the training session, he felt severe knee injury and was forced to leave the training session. In the medical report, it was found that he has met a knee injury which will keep him away from football for at least three months.
