Barcelona shared news of Gavi’s injury status on Monday after the midfielder was unable to complete one half of the 5–0 win against Elche because of a “blow” to his right knee.
Gavi played just 13 times last season because of surgery to repair a meniscus in that knee. He also missed more than 300 days after an ACL tear in late 2023, again in the right knee. It made for unsurprising concern when the 22-year-old couldn’t continue in Sunday’s La Liga opener.
