While Gavi could not finish the training session on Friday morning due to knee pain, the newspaper AS reveals that Barça is worried about his player, who has already been far from the field for a year because of a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee, followed by a lesion of the lateral meniscus.

The Spanish international (28 selections, 5 goals) could not carry out the necessary medical examinations because his knee was still swollen. Once the hematoma has disappeared, the Blaugranas medical services will be able to assess the severity of the injury more precisely. In the meantime, Gavi is already forfeit for the match against Rayo Vallecano, this Sunday evening, and should most likely miss other games thereafter. Gavi was used as a replacement in the first two successes of Barça in Liga.
