Barcelona Stick With Conservative Care for Gavi’s Knee, Reassessment Next Week

Reports point to a multi‑week layoff with a tentative return after the October international window.

Overview

  • Gavi, his family and agents met club officials, who kept him on a non‑surgical plan with a formal check set for roughly one week.
  • MARCA reports a minimum six‑week absence, with the midfielder expected to miss Newcastle on September 21 and PSG on October 1, and El Clásico viewed as doubtful.
  • Mundo Deportivo outlines a goal of full fitness after the October break, though surgery remains an option that would extend his time out.
  • Local outlet Jijantes FC says the player feels slight improvement, reinforcing continued monitoring under conservative management.
  • Diario AS reports internal disagreement over immediate surgery versus rest, while Hansi Flick offers support and says there will be no pressure to rush a return.
