Official: Barcelona forward undergoes emergency surgery; out for the season In a major blow for FC Barcelona, it appears their star striker Ferran Torres has been ruled out for the season due to an emergency surgery. This was confirmed by Barcelona, which revealed through an official statement that Torres had to undergo surgery for appendicitis. Advertisement The operation was successfully completed and was conducted by the Hospital de Barcelona, under the supervision of the club's medical team. Ferran Torres ruled out for the season Ferran Torres' emergency surgery means that the forward has now been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign, reports Javi Miguel. 'Even sharks get sick,' quipped Miguel before confirming that the Spaniard won't play again this season. Ferran Torres won't play again for Barcelona this season. (Photo by) This amounts to a total of just three games missed for Ferran Torres, although it will be interesting to see whether the surgery will have any bearing on his availability for the pre-season campaign in the summer. Advertisement In the absence of Ferran, Robert Lewandowski is likely to take over the reins as the leader of the Barcelona frontline, having returned to full fitness. With three matches remaining, Lewandowski has the task of overtaking Kylian Mbappe in the race for the Pichichi trophy. He will also be looking for his 100th goal for Barcelona. As for Ferran, his absence will be felt as the Spaniard has been of great service to Hansi Flick, having netted as many as 19 goals despite a limited role in the first team. Flick will hope Ferran can come back strongly next season, when the importance of having a Lewandowski alternative will be far greater.
