The news of Gavi ‘s serious injury , injured in the cruciate ligament in his right knee, caused great indignation within FC Barcelona. Sources consulted by MD showed his enormous anger with the Federation for forcing a player accustomed to risking everything.
Beyond the misfortune, the Barça club considers that Gavi ‘s participation in the duel against Georgia was not essential, because regardless of the result, the team was already qualified for next summer’s Euro Cup, no matter how much was played. be seeded.
For Barça, the money it may receive from FIFA as compensation for a long-term injury to its player – it could reach four or five million – is no consolation, as it is left without a key player in Xavi Hernández ‘s scheme to compete in big competitions.
Curiously, Gavi is the only player, along with Le Norman , who had not rotated in De La Fuente’s lineups for the duel against Georgia. What’s more, since he debuted with the Spanish team, Gavi has not missed a single official match. He has played them all 23 as a starter and the other four coming off the bench.
An atrocity. And to make matters worse, De la Fuente seemed unwilling to do without a total footballer like the Andalusian. “ Gavi is hyperactive. He always wants to play. Good players never rest,” said the coach on the eve of the clash in which the Barça midfielder ended up with a broken cruciate and says goodbye to the season.
