Gavi Injury Scare: Barcelona Midfielder In Doubt
23 Aug
Summary
- Midfielder Gavi forced off with right knee concern during Elche match.
- This injury mirrors his previous severe ACL and meniscus tear.
- Gavi will undergo medical tests to ascertain the severity and duration.
During Barcelona's recent match against Elche, midfielder Gavi had to be substituted before halftime due to an apparent injury to his right knee.
In the 44th minute, Gavi fell to the ground and immediately indicated he could not continue, prompting Hansi Flick to bring on Pedri. The concern was heightened as the location of his complaint was the same right knee where he suffered a significant anterior cruciate ligament tear and lateral meniscus injury in November 2023.
Barcelona is treating the situation with extreme caution, given Gavi's medical history. The player is scheduled for medical examinations to precisely diagnose the issue and its potential impact on his playing time. The club awaits results to understand if this is a minor problem or another serious setback.
