Barcelona Monitor Gavi’s Knee Injury as Surgery Decision Looms

Barcelona is worried about Gavi’s knee injury. Coach Hansi Flick said the club will decide early next week if Gavi needs surgery. The medical staff will assess Gavi in a week to determine the next steps.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH GAVI?

Gavi injured his knee and has missed several games. The club is considering surgery, but for now, Gavi is undergoing non-surgical treatment for another week. The medical team is watching how he responds, as his absence is a major concern for Barcelona given the number of injuries they are currently managing. Coach Flick hopes Gavi will return soon.

BARCELONA’S SEASON AND GAVI’S IMPACT

Barcelona started La Liga well and reached their fourth win in five games as they faced Getafe and won by 3-0. Before getting hurt, Gavi played regularly and provided the team with energy and control in the midfield. Barcelona is currently second in La Liga with 13 points, three points ahead of Espanyol and Villarreal. They won their last league game 6-0 against Valencia and recently beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the Champions League, which improves their chances of advancing in the tournament as per reports confirming that victory.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BARCELONA?

Now, Barcelona is preparing to visitn struggling Oviedo before hosting another team in the bottom half, Real Sociedad, next weekend. Oviedo is 17th and Real Sociedad 18th, with 3 and 2 points respectively from five matches this season, making this an important match. A win would keep Barcelona close to leaders Real Madrid, while a loss could drop them out of the top spots. If Gavi has surgery, he could miss several more weeks. Barcelona also hopes to get other injured players back to stay competitive for the title, especially with tough games against the league’s strongest teams on the horizon.
