Overview

• Reports say the internal meniscus issue in Gavi’s right knee has improved over the past week, with the midfielder feeling minimal discomfort.
• The problem is in the same knee that required ACL surgery in 2023, prompting careful day-to-day monitoring by Barcelona’s medical staff.
• Gavi prefers to avoid surgery and continue conservative therapy, while the club remains cautious given the risk of fluctuating symptoms.
• A meeting early next week among doctors, coaching staff and the player will set the treatment plan, with surgery still an option despite recent improvement.
• If conservative care continues and progress holds, a return in roughly two weeks is possible, potentially aligning with the October 1 match against PSG, whereas surgery would likely mean five to six weeks out.
