New Barcelona signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be out for around three weeks after having surgery on a bone fracture in his left hand.

The Swedish striker signed from Inter on Monday with Samuel Eto'o moving in the opposite direction, in a complicated swap deal that cost Barca around €66 million.

The 27-year-old Ibrahimovic will join the club's tour of the United States which departs today.

The Swede could make his debut in a friendly against Manchester City on Aug. 19, or in the return leg of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic Bilbao the following weekend.
