The Barcelona star undergoes surgery and is away from the field for a long time

Barcelona player Marcos Alonso will have to undergo surgery to get rid of back pain, according to AS newspaper confirmations.

Alonso has been absent from the Catalan club since the beginning of this December due to a back injury, and Barcelona refused to set a specific date for his return, stressing that the matter depends on the speed of his recovery.

It seems that Alonso faced the same fate as Ter Stegen, as the German also suffered an injury in his back, and the hope was that he would recover through physical therapy, but the matter developed and required surgical intervention.

According to AS, Alonso needs surgery, and he has notified the club and agreed with the administration about that, and all that remains is to determine the date for it.

Thanks to this surgery, 33-year-old Alonso will miss Barcelona for at least two months.

Alonso will join Barca's injured list, which includes Pedri, Gavi and Stegen, as well as centre-back Iñago Martinez.

It is noteworthy that the left-back's contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the current season, and it is not expected to be renewed.

Some reports indicate that Joan Laporta's management may try to get rid of the Spanish international next January, but these hopes have become difficult due to his injury and his long absence from the stadiums.
