Bad news for FC Barcelona player Gavi, the 21-year-old midfielder part of the new generation of homegrown talent, who will be side-lined for four or five months after what initially seemed like an unimportant surgery.
Pablo Páez Gavira 'Gavi' has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus. His recovery time will be 4-5 months, the club announced.
According to Mundo Deportivo, what was expected to be a simple procedure with four or five weeks of recovery time, was found to be much serious than expected. He already suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in November 2023 and spent nearly a year side-lined. He suffered pain during training last August and went into surgery today, expecting a recovery of 4-5 weeks... that turned into 4-5 months.
