Gavi to miss EURO 2024 – The Barcelona midfielder will miss at least 8 months

Gavi left the field in the 26th minute of selection for EURO 2024 after a duel with Lososhvili.

On Monday, Barcelona announced that the midfielder has a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and a related injury to the external meniscus.

Thus, the 19-year-old football player will miss at least 8 months from the field and will miss the final tournament of EURO 2024 (June 14 – July 14).

The Catalan side criticized Luis de la Fuente for using Gavi in ​​a low-stakes game, but the Spain coach says “big players never rest”.

“Havi is hyperactive, he never wants to rest. Great players never rest. That’s why they get so big, because they like the rhythm, they never want to take a break. Now, however, he was out of luck. This is a difficult moment for both the national team and Barcelona.

I feel like we’ve lost the game, we’re devastated. It was a terrible accident, he made a mistake and broke his knee. I am very sorry, especially since he was in such good shape. He felt fresh and showed a phenomenal playing spirit” – Luis de la Fuente.
