Terrible news for Barcelona. Gavi had to leave the pitch after 20 minutes of Spain’s match against Georgia due to a knee injury.
Helper Blaugrana suffered at 1:1. First, as a result of an opponent’s attack, after which he was treated and continued playing. Later, however, he stood badly in one action. He couldn’t continue playing and had to leave the pitch. Everything looked very worrying as Gavi found it very difficult to get off the pitch on his own and was in a lot of pain. Javi Miguel z ASa writes that the situation looks very bad.

It is worth recalling De la Fuente’s statement before the match. – Gavi is hyperactive. It doesn’t stop. He always wants to play. Good footballers never rest. That’s why they are so good and special. You have to dose these efforts, but when you are young… Moreover, he is physically super gifted. It’s November, the players are still fresh at this time, said the coach. Let us add that Gavi has not missed a single match for the Spanish national team since his debut. He played in the starting lineup 23 times and appeared on the pitch four times from the bench. This season in Barcelona he missed only two matches due to suspension. In 13 of 15 matches played, he played from the first minute.
Toni Juanmarti with Sports reports that De la Fuente considered not taking Gavi to this training camp. At times, the midfielder believed that he might not be included in the national team. But then the final decision was made to appoint the player.
