Real Madrid have confirmed that right-back Danilo will undergo surgery on a heel injury on Thursday.
A report at the weekend claimed that the 24-year-old struggled with the problem in the final months of the season and a decision had been made to operate on the full-back.
That has now been confirmed by Los Blancos, with the operation due to take place on Thursday in the Spanish capital.
"Following tests on our player Danilo, the decision has been taken to carry out an endoscopy on his right heel. The operation will take place on June 9 in Madrid by doctors Niek van Dijk, Pedro Luis Ripoll and Mariano del Prado, under the supervision of the Real Madrid Sanitas medical services," read the statement.
The Brazilian international joined Real Madrid from Porto last summer and made 31 appearances for the Spanish giants during the 2015-16 campaign.
