Gavi, a midfielder for Barcelona, may have knee surgery for five months.

Before suffering a right knee injury during a training session in August, the 21-year-old featured in Barcelona’s first two matches of the season.

The Spain international’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, which he sustained in 2023, was thought to have reappeared.

Gavi underwent surgery to repair cartilage damage despite scan results showing he had avoided an ACL tear.

A medial meniscus injury was treated with an arthroscopy to save the meniscus, according to a Barcelona statement.

When Gavi made his Barcelona debut in 2021, he became the fourth youngest debutant in the city’s history.

In 155 games and with five awards, he has 10 goals.

He missed 11 months due to an ACL tear he sustained while serving abroad with Spain in November 2023.
