Gavi Injury: Avoids knee surgery

Gavi has avoided knee surgery as Barcelona opted for a conservative treatment that will sideline him for several weeks, according to Sport.

Gavi will undergo a conservative treatment of about three weeks for his knee discomfort and will avoid surgery to address the issue. This is good news for Barcelona since it prevents a long term absence, although with the injury of Frenkie de Jong (leg), his presence would have been useful in midfield. That said, this will leave some space for Marc Casado who is expected to see increased playing time until the injured players return.
