Barcelona's Gavi to miss up to five months
Gavi is facing a long spell out of action after he underwent knee surgery, Barcelona confirmed.
The Spain international only returned from an ACL injury last season, but has not featured for Barca since August.
The 21 year-old will now be sidelined for between four and five months after surgery was performed on his meniscus in the same knee he previously injured.
Barca confirmed the news on Wednesday, with Hansi Flick's team in LaLiga action on Friday against Real Oviedo.
The Blaugrana had reportedly been hoping Gavi would return to action in 2025, but it is now likely he will be out into the new year.
Barca is also set to be without Fermin Lopez for around three weeks after the midfielder sustained a muscle injury during the club's 3-0 win over Getafe.
