Barcelona's Gavi Out Four to Five Months After Meniscus Surgery

Surgery replaced an initial non‑operative plan after doctors determined the meniscus damage was more serious than first believed.

Overview

  • Barcelona confirmed the 21-year-old underwent meniscus repair at the Dexeus University Hospital performed by knee specialist Dr. Joan Carlos Monllau.
  • The club projects a four- to five-month recovery, ruling him out for the rest of 2025 with a return targeted for the season’s second half.
  • The knee problem dates to late August, limiting him to two appearances this season before surgical intervention became necessary.
  • Earlier expectations, reported by Mundo Deportivo, suggested roughly five weeks out after arthroscopy, but intraoperative findings extended the timeline.
  • Squad options tighten further as Fermín López will be sidelined for several weeks, and this follows Gavi’s prior ACL rupture in 2023 that cost him about ten months.
