Gavi Injury Woes Deepen With Meniscus Surgery Confirmed By Barcelona

‎The club said Barcelona midfielder, Gavi is set to undergo knee surgery to address a lingering meniscus injury.

‎The 21-year-old Spain international, who previously tore his ACL in November 2023, injured his right knee in training in August after featuring in Barca’s opening two matches of the season. Barcelona did not provide a timeline for his return.

‎While Barca did not provide a timeline for Gavi’s recovery, Spanish media reported that he could be sidelined for five to six weeks.

‎”Gavi underwent intense sporting stress tests after finishing his conservation course of treatment for the radial injury to the internal meniscus in his right knee,” Barca said in a statement on Monday.

‎”The conclusion is that in order to guarantee the best possible recovery and return to competitive action this Tuesday Gavi will undergo an arthroscopic examination.”

‎Barcelona have also ruled out midfielder Fermin Lopez for three weeks after a leg muscle injury sustained in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Getafe.

‎With Barca two points adrift of La Liga leaders Real Madrid, they travel to Real Oviedo in the league on Thursday.
