On April 24, 2020, Bayern Munich midfielder Philippe Coutinho underwent surgery to remove loose fragments from his right ankle, a procedure that will keep him sidelined for at least two weeks, the club announced.
As a season-long loanee from Barcelona, Coutinho has made significant contributions to the team, scoring eight goals in 22 Bundesliga appearances.
According to the club, the operation was a success, and Coutinho will begin his recovery program in around 14 days.
France midfielder Corentin Tolisso also underwent an operation earlier in the week on his ankle and will miss the league's potential restart date on May 9.
The Bundesliga is preparing to resume next month without spectators, pending the all-clear from the German government.
