Avoids serious knee injury
Gavi (knee) was diagnosed with a bruise to his right knee and is expected to return to training shortly, the club posted.
Analysis: Gavi underwent medical tests after being forced off during Sunday's match against Elche, with the results ruling out a more serious injury. The midfielder is dealing only with a bruise and is expected to resume training shortly, making a lengthy absence unlikely. His progress over the next few days should determine his availability for Thursday's clash against Athletic Club. Gavi's quick return would be a boost after injuries limited him to 49 La Liga appearances over the previous three seasons.
Off with injury, set for testing
Gavi was forced off in the 45th minute of Sunday's match against Elche due to a knee injury and is set for testing Monday, according to Alfredo Martinez. Manager Hansi Flick said after the game "Yes, it's the knee, and we have to wait. It feels better than expected that he felt much better right after the injury, after the match. But we have to wait; he'll undergo tests tomorrow, and we'll see", per Fran Fuentes of El Desmarque.
Analysis: Gavi would slide in for a tackle and end up taking the worst of it, as he would immediately reach for his lower leg and would be forced to exit right after. He would then immediately head to the locker room with a clear look of pain on his face. He will now head in for testing to determine the extent of the injury, praying for nothing too serious. That said, he already missed most of last season due to injury, which has been a common occurrence for the young midfielder, only playing 49 matches in the past three La Liga seasons. The good news is Pedri and new signing Rodri are waiting on the bench, having the duo that won Spain the World Cup in the midfield ready to go.
