Overview

  • The arthroscopy on Gavi’s right knee meniscus is slated for Tuesday and will be performed by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau under Barcelona’s medical supervision.
  • Surgery follows a month of conservative treatment and intense stress tests that did not resolve the issue.
  • The midfielder has been out since late August, and the injury affects the same knee that required ACL and meniscus surgery in 2023.
  • Barcelona will publish a new medical report after the procedure, and no official recovery timeline has been provided.
  • Fermín López sustained a muscular hip injury and is expected to miss around three weeks, with Lamine Yamal, Alejandro Balde and Marc-André ter Stegen also sidelined.
