Main topic: Gavi’s knee surgery and expected layoff.
Key subjects/themes: knee injury and surgery (medial meniscus repair, arthroscopy), recovery timeline, prior ACL tear, team impact, player career history.
Gavi will be sidelined for around four to five months after arthroscopic surgery to repair a medial meniscus in his right knee; scans showed no repeat ACL tear. The 21‑year‑old was hurt in August, had previously missed 11 months after a 2023 ACL injury, and Barcelona and manager Hansi Flick expect to support his recovery as the team copes without him.
