Hansi Flick backs Gavi for full recovery at Barcelona | OneFootball

Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, commented with optimism this Wednesday about the new absence of Gavi, who will be away from the fields for about four to five months after undergoing surgery on his right knee. The player underwent an arthroscopy the day before to repair an injury to the internal meniscus, according to an official statement from the Catalan club.

Recovery as an opportunity

Despite the severity of the situation, Flick adopted a positive stance. "When you get news like this, you think it's bad. But personally, for him, it's good," said the coach.

"Now we know what needs to be done. He is 21 years old and has a long career ahead. We need to think about that, that he recovers 100% and stays strong. He should be a professional player, work hard. We have to teach him that," he added.

History of overcoming

The coach also highlighted the player's emotional side, recalling that Gavi had already faced a long recovery period last season, after a surgery in November 2023 to treat a complete rupture of the cruciate ligament and an associated injury to the external meniscus of the same knee.

"He has a huge heart, he is very emotional. I wouldn't say he would die for this club, but he lives for it. It's not easy for the team, as he brings a lot of quality. We will all help him recover his level," Flick concluded.
