Worst-case scenario for Gavi becomes reality: Barça confirms diagnosis

What was feared on Sunday evening became reality, when Gavi left the field in tears during the Euro qualification match against Georgia. The Spanish talent will undergo surgery in the coming days and then begin a long rehabilitation process.

Normally, this diagnosis means that the season is over for Gavi. According to initial reports in the Spanish media, the former Golden Boy will be sidelined for six to nine months, making participation in the European Championship with Spain a race against time.

Barcelona has not yet announced how long Gavi will be out. According to Spanish media, it is not excluded that the club will enter the transfer market in January for a replacement. The nineteen-year-old midfielder is a key player in the team of coach Xavi.
