Philippe Coutinho's ankle recovery will be longer than expected and the Brazilian will be out for six weeks. What remains of the Bundesliga is likely to be lost, but could reach the Champions League if FIFA says "ok"

Calendar of FC Barcelona

On 8 March against the Augsburg could be the farewell of the Bundesliga of Philippe Coutinho with the Bayern of Munich. The Brazilian will be six weeks of drop by fault of his injury in the right ankle and is very likely that can not go back to play in the German domestic competition. The mediapunta was operated the past 24 April and 'Sportive World' ensures that from this 10 May will be otos 42 days ofdrop .

Taking into account that the championship germano returns on 16 May after the stop by the coronavirus, is almost impossible that can go back to dress the elastic Bavarian in league. In the best of the cases, the '10' of the Bayern could contest the last day, that is programmed for the last week of June. Nevertheless, his presence in this meeting could be precipitated if it does not fulfil to rajatabla the marked times for his recovery.

But the goodbye of the of Rio de Janeiro to Germany could be also to the own Bayern if the FIFA does not solve his situation and the one of many others yielded. Technically, the agreement of cession of the ex of the Liverpool in the team muniqués wins on 30 June, but this stop by the COVID-19 does that the the panorama change completely. It says that the maximum organism of the world-wide football could lengthen the cessions of all the footballers until it finalise the present campaign, but for the moment there is not at all sure.

In principle, the Champions League will return in the month of August, as it has commissioned to signal the president of the Olympique of Lyon, Jean-Michel Classrooms. If this finishes confirming, will do more than a month that the loan of the '10' will have finish, by what would go back to belong to the FC Barcelona. The normal would be that the international by Brazil could play the turn of the eighth of final against Chelsea and in case to happen the rest of the competition, but there are a lot of factors to take into account.

The index card of the mediapunta, that is of more than 10 million euros, will be one of these appearances to study. It does not know if it would have to be the Barça or if they would have to be the Germans those who paid him and this is something that has to decide the FIFA. Neither it is clear if the Bavarians would have to credit a quantity for having he during two months more, July and August.All these questions will occur in a lot of teams of the world and before or afterwards will have to have a global measure.

The terms of the market of signings could vary

Also it is necessary to signal that this so exceptional situation prejudices clearly any operation in which it can be included Coutinho. In theory the market works during the months of July and August in the majority of leagues of Europe, but this summer would have to expand for the sake of all. If it was not like this, it would be a chaos for all the teams that play the League of Champions. The FIFA will have to solve also this to avoid more problems.
