It was unfortunately already announced by the Spanish press and the comments of coach Luis de la Fuente left little room for doubt. Midfielder Gavi suffered a complete rupture of the cruciate ligaments during the match between Spain and Georgia on Sunday evening. FC Barcelona has officially communicated about the injury of its player, for whom the season already seems to be over.
“The player has a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee and an associated injury to the external meniscus. (…) Bad news for Barça. Tests carried out on first-team player Gavi confirmed a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an associated injury to the external meniscus. He will undergo surgical treatment in the coming days. A new medical press release will be issued subsequently”, we can read. This injury generates at least 6 months of unavailability, and it generally takes 8-9 months to be fully recovered. A huge blow for the mid-19 year old.
