Coutinho sees doctor in Río de Janeiro over back injury
The player has been suffering a back injury for a few weeks now and it has prevented him from playing for Liverpool this year
He was accompanied by his brother Cristiano and will join up with the Brazil squad later
Philippe Coutinho, the Barcelona target, has passed a medical in Río de Janieiro this Monday. SPORT has learnt that the medical was carried out by Dr Michael Simoni, a traumatologist who specialises in sports medicine.
The midfielder who has not played for Liverpool this season due to a back injury visited the doctor together with his Cristiano.
Coutinho, as SPORT reported, has left Liverpool and everything suggests he will not return to Anfield after the international break. It is not clear if this visit to the doctor has anything to do directly with his potential transfer to Barça.
