Barcelona make Gavi surgery call | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga champions Barcelona have made a call, for the time being, regarding the possibility of sending Gavi back under the knife.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have confirmed that as much is not currently on the agenda.

Youngster Gavi for his part set alarm bells sounding across Catalunya’s capital late last month.

This came after word was forthcoming that the 21-year-old had picked up an injury problem in the same knee in which he previously tore the ACL.

Ensuing reports have varied widely when it comes to the extent of the issue, as well as how long Gavi is likely to be sidelined.

Over the last 24 hours, it had even been suggested that the Spanish international could be forced into fresh surgical intervention, to assure the resolution of the concern once and for all.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media early this week is anything to go by, then this route has for the time being been ruled out.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘Sources at Barcelona tell MD that this alarmism doesn’t exist in the medical services and that what they are proposing is a patient analysis of the discomfort and physical therapy so that, conservatively and without surgical intervention, the discomfort will disappear from the painful area, as expected.’
