Chelsea have dealt a further blow with the news that Alex has withdrawn from the Brazil squad to play Argentina this week and will undergo surgery on his knee.
The defender missed Chelsea's games against Fulham and Sunderland due to his injury but joined up with his national side for Wednesday's game in Qatar.
Further to the Chelsea medical team's diagnosis, the Brazilian national team doctors agree that further investigation via arthroscopic surgery is required on the player's right knee. That will take place over the coming days.
He is expected to be out for approximately six to eight weeks.
