Barcelona midfielder Gavi suffered a significant knee injury during Spain's Euro 2024 qualifier against Georgia, sparking concerns about potential ACL damage. The 19-year-old, named in the starting lineup, exited the match after just 26 minutes due to an awkward twist of his knee.

Initial tests suggest a major knee injury, with sources in Spain's camp mentioning the "typical snap in ligamentous tears." The national team's team doctor, Oscar Luis Celada also expressed serious concern at halftime. Teammate Ferran Torres dedicated his goal to Gavi, holding the midfielder's shirt aloft to the crowd.

Gavi, despite his young age, has accumulated substantial playing time, featuring in 111 games for Barcelona and 26 for the Spanish national team. An MRI scan will provide a clearer understanding of the injury's extent, but a lengthy recovery period seems likely.

The severity of the situation raises worries for both Barcelona and Spain as they await further medical assessment for the promising midfielder. Xavi and Barcelona are reportedly very angry with the Spain national team manager for playing Gavi in this dead-rubber game as Spain had already qualified for the Euros.

It has to be seen how long the midfielder would be out based on the severity of his injury.
