Barcelona's Gavi Faces Knee Setback

Barcelona midfielder Gavi signaled discomfort in his right knee before halftime of Sunday's 5-0 victory over Elche, requiring a substitution. The 22-year-old, who has missed numerous matches for Barcelona in recent years, specifically mentioned the same knee that suffered a ligament tear and meniscus damage in November 2023.

"Yes, it's in the knee. We must wait and see. It appears a bit better than he feared when he got injured," said Barcelona coach Hansi Flick after the match. An MRI scan will be conducted to determine the extent of the issue. Gavi, who recently dyed his hair pink after Spain's World Cup success, missed 46 club matches last season due to injury problems. betsport24.es
