Barcelona, Gavi Opt for Conservative Care as Knee Is Reassessed Next Week

Reports point to an absence through the October break, ruling him out for Newcastle and PSG.

Overview

  • Gavi, his family and agents met club officials on Friday, agreeing to continue non-surgical treatment with a new evaluation in about a week.
  • Multiple outlets including MARCA report he will be sidelined for at least six weeks, with no return expected before the October international window ends.
  • Coverage indicates he will miss the trip to Newcastle on September 21 and the home match against Paris Saint-Germain on October 1, with El Clásico on October 26 in doubt.
  • Surgery remains a contingency if pain persists, with recovery estimates reported between roughly four additional weeks and six to eight weeks depending on the procedure.
  • The issue involves the same right knee as his 2023 ACL injury, leading to extra caution, and Jijantes reports he has felt slight recent improvement under conservative therapy.
