Barca’s Gavi sidelined for up to five months after knee surgery

BARCELONA: Barcelona midfielder Gavi will be out of action for up to five months after undergoing knee surgery to address a meniscus injury, the LaLiga champions said. The 21-year-old Spain international, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in November 2023, injured his right knee in training in August after featuring in Barca’s opening two matches of the season. “Gavi has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus. Recovery time is estimated at around four-five months,” Barca said in a statement late on Tuesday.
