Gavi out for up to five months after knee surgery | OneFootball

Barcelona's midfielder Gavi will be sidelined for a period of four to five months after undergoing surgery on his right knee, the Catalan club announced on Tuesday.

The Spanish player "underwent an arthroscopy to repair the injury to the medial meniscus. Sutures were performed to preserve the meniscus," Barça reported in a statement.

"The recovery time is estimated at about 4 to 5 months," it added.

In November 2023, the player underwent surgery to treat a complete rupture of the cruciate ligament and an associated injury to the external meniscus of the same knee. The injury kept him off the field for almost a year.

But this time, Gavi suffers from an injury to the medial meniscus, a part that had not been affected on that occasion.

The 21-year-old midfielder felt discomfort on August 29 during a team training session that aims to repeat the national triple crown and win the Champions League title this season.
