England star Lucy Bronze will miss Barcelona's Champions League semi-final clash with Chelsea after undergoing surgery on her knee.
The Lionesses right-back limped off during the Catlans' 1-0 victory in the first leg of the tie at Stamford Bridge last weekend, having gone down off the ball in the 66th minute. And Barcelona have now confirmed Bronze has had keyhole surgery to rectify the issue and won't feature in Thursday's second leg at Camp Nou.
Speaking about the 31-year-old's injury in his pre-match press conference on Wednesday, Barcelona manager Jonatan Giraldez said: "All good with her knee. She has a strain, an ailment. It needs a tiny intervention and it just needs a couple of weeks."
