Former Inter loan-star Rafinha’s season could well be over with Barcelona announcing that he has ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.

The 25-year-old Brazilian is to go under the knife next week to correct the problem and his injury as good as rules out any possibility of a move away from the Camp Nou in the upcoming January transfer window.

This is his second ACL injury having previously injured the one in his opposite leg back in 2015.
