Barcelona goalkeeper Neto to undergo surgery

Barcelona goalkeeper Neto will undergo wrist surgery on Tuesday.

Barca have confirmed the club's worst fears and Neto will go under the knife to repair his fracture on Tuesday.

Doctor Xavier Mir will oversee the surgery.

Barça have refused to state how long Neto will be out for until the operation has been completed.

However, this type of injury will keep him on the sidelines for at least a month. Iñaki Peña will occupy the backup role to Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the Brazilian's absence.
