Essential with Barça since the start of the season, Gavi seriously injured his knee with the Spanish selection on Sunday against Georgia. We fear the worst for the 19-year-old midfielder.
This is the big worry in Spain and more precisely on the side of Barcelona this Sunday evening… While the Spanish selection, already qualified for Euro 2024, concluded its qualifiers against Georgia, Sunday evening in Valladolid, Gavi was replaced in the 26th minute of the game, in tears, hit in the knee after a bad reception.
This could be very serious for the Barça midfielder… The Spanish federation quickly mentioned a significant injury and examinations will reveal whether one of the cruciate ligaments is affected. It would be terrible for the Blaugranas, who would lose an essential player who, despite being 19 years old, has only missed two matches this season (one of which was suspended).

Xavi Hernandez could once again lose a midfielder for the rest of the season, while Frenkie de Jong has been unavailable since September 23 and Pedri has only just returned to competition at the beginning of the month. Fermin Lopez (20 years old), who played in D3 last year, will continue to have playing time.
The Catalans are 3rd in the La Liga standings, four points behind Girona, the surprising leader. In the Champions League, they are leaders of Group H before playing a “final” for first place next week against FC Porto, who have the same number of points.
