Barcelona's Gavi Undergoes Knee Arthroscopy, Out 4–5 Months

Surgeons repaired his right meniscus to preserve the joint.

Overview

  • Gavi had the procedure on Tuesday performed by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau under Barcelona’s medical supervision, the club announced.
  • The club projects a 4–5 month layoff, ruling him out for the rest of 2025 with a potential return between January and March 2026.
  • The operation followed an intensive conservative program and strenuous sports tests after the issue first surfaced in late August training.
  • The setback involves the same right knee that sustained an ACL rupture in November 2023, which sidelined him for nearly a year.
  • Hansi Flick framed the surgery as a move for long-term health and is adjusting midfield plans, with increased responsibility expected for Dani Olmo and Pedri.
