Rakitic has a fractured finger and will have surgery LaLiga - Barcelona A race to be ready for the Copa final

An operation will be carried out on one of Ivan Rakitic's fingers this Wednesday afternoon, as the Croatian midfielder hopes to be recovered in time to play in the Copa del Rey final on April 21.

He fractured a finger on his left hand during Tuesday night's 3-0 defeat to Roma as a result of a stamp.

Barcelona will soon reveal how long he'll be out of action, but the plan is that he'll be back in time for the cup final.
