Gavi injured again with knee problem

Barcelona midfielder Gavi was substituted in first-half stoppage time during their 5-0 victory over Elche after signaling discomfort in his right knee. The 22-year-old, who missed 46 matches last season due to injuries, suffered an ACL tear and meniscus damage in the same knee in November 2023.

Coach Hansi Flick stated the situation appears "better than feared" but confirmed an MRI examination will be conducted to determine the extent of the injury. Gavi had recently dyed his hair pink in celebration of Spain's European Championship victory and was part of their squad that reached the final. syntagm.co.za
