Coutinho undergoes ankle surgery

Bayern Munich midfielder Philippe Coutinho underwent minor surgery on his right ankle on Friday and will start his rehabilitation programme in about two weeks, the German champions said.

The 27-year-old Brazilian, on loan from FC Barcelona for one season, could be back fit for the remainder of the Bundesliga campaign.

The competition has been suspended since mid-March due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Coutinho has so far failed to impress in Germany and is reportedly a target for several English Premier League clubs. (Text and photo courtesy Punch)
