Luis de la Fuente described the 3-1 victory over Georgia which secured Spain’s place as group winners and a seed at Euro 2024 as “the bitterest of my life” after Gavi was forced off with a knee injury that is expected to rule him out for the rest of the season and the European Championships.
Barcelona confirmed on Monday that the midfielder had suffered “a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and “an associated injury to the lateral meniscus. The player will have surgery in the coming days after which a new medical update will be released.”
