Barcelona midfielder Gavi could miss five months of the season after having knee surgery.

The 21-year-old featured in Barcelona’s opening two matches of the season before injuring his right knee during a training session in August.

There were fears the Spain international had suffered a recurrence of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear he sustained in 2023.

Although scan results revealed Gavi had avoided an ACL tear, he has had an operation to repair damaged cartilage.

“Gavi has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus,” a Barcelona statement read.

“Recovery time is estimated at around 4-5 months.”
