Barcelona might have gotten Frenkie de Jong back and are closing in on a Lamine Yamal return, but they just lost Gavi for an extended period.
The Catalan club announced Gavi underwent an arthroscopy to fix a medial meniscus injury with a recovery timeline estimated around four to five months. Gavi first suffered the knee injury in training back in August and has yet to appear in a match since. The 21-year-old was originally thought to be out until around November, though now it looks more like January or February 2026 depending on how he recovers.
