That's dreadful. Hopefully makes a full recovery
As if ACL injury isn't enough, there is lateral meniscus injury as well which makes it much worse. Speedy recovery for Gavi, always like the kid, such a joy to watch.
ACL tears usually comes with a meniscus tear aswell. Though a meniscus tear Isnt has bad as the tearing of the ACL. Post acl tear and rehabilitation you Usually you dont have to intervene with operation on the meniscus, in majority of cases youll be fine with rehab. The Acl is the most crucial to reconstruct.
Makes me really sad seeing young developing players get big injuries, felt the same when Fati got injured too. Get well soon Gavi.
People will put all the blame towards the Spanish coach, but Barca have continuously played this 19 year old kid for a long while now.
Surely at that age minutes should be managed more sensibly instead of relentless playing time?
We can’t do much because we have a injury crises at the club. Spain has fantastic midfield depth and they don’t need to play gavi every game
Seems the norm in current football, Barça is pushing literal teenagers to their limits and De La Fuente already pushed Pedri further to the point that he can't stay in the field at the age of 21.
RM has a similar issue with injuries but Camavinga is already 21 and the rest of their injured players are older. But in general, teams are being over reliant on teenagers and players in their very early 20s, what makes me guess if those players will be healthy in 10 years.
The problem is that Barça has a very thin squad and it didn’t help that Pedri and De Jong have been injured at several points of the season

We don't even know whether the injury is due to him being overplayed or not, I'm not sure why that's the consensus on this sub right now
It's true that we cannot know that for sure. Traditionally it was believed ACL injuries was usually a result of a one off situation/accident, but in later years there have been studies that suggest that overplaying (cumulative stress) can result in a tear/rupture in lower load situations. Gavis injury does visually appear to happen in a situation you wouldn't expect the ACL to fail so easiliy.
Barca have games that are important and they do rest him.
De La Fuente literally use him even in games that don't mean shit while resting everyone else.
So far this season he played every game that he was not suspended for with Barca
Last season he got played in all but 1 game that he was not suspended for. Including Copa Del Rey/ Supercopa/ CL
Season before that he was played in every CL and Europa league game that he was not suspended for. He wasn't picked for the first two league games of the season but played every single game afterwards including Copa Del Rey and SuperCopa where he wasn't suspended and 2 where he was positive for Covid
so far this season De Jong and Pedri has been injured for most it.
Last season Xavi played with 4 midfielders.
That is the point. Barca had games that were important. This was just a useless international game that had no point as they were already qualified yet De La Fuente played Gavi while resting everyone else and it ended with Gavi out for over 6 months.

Thanks a lot de la Fuente you fucking dumbass
Bin the season
Fuck everything
Good fucking job, thanks Luis
That’s a terrible injury
Fuck. Horrible news. Feels like the minutes caught up to him
I’m genuinely devastated. One of the worst possible knee injuries you can get and at 19. Any teenage player that suffered a Meniscus + ACL injury who bounced back? :(
Knees are going out lads
It's fucking horrible
Fati, Pedri, Gavi, and there are a few more. I just was listening to an interview by Javier Clemente. Having literal boys playing agianst grown men week end and week out and not being eased into the process is exactly the result you get now. The game goes beyond just skill there is a physicality aspect and these boys are not going to be able to handle it.
Many ACL injuries lately fucking sucks
This really throws a spanner in his career in the age frame where he should be developing the most.
Seriously unlucky.
Damn. I wish him a quick recovery. With the effort he had put in for Barca this season I felt like at times dude is 1.3x player for the team.
This Will imapct heavily his career cause his whole playstyle is build on agression, acceleration, agility, shifts or direction...another victim of the UEFA and FIFA greed
Barca is fucked
Barca and Spain have completely failed Pedri and Gavi
Oh fuck off. Fuck everything. This shit fucking sucks
Words can't describe how angry I am right now. Yesterday was the worst day of my life being a sports fan so I decided to take an off day on Monday.
Now I wake up and see Gavi has torn his ACL.Fuck everything and fuck me

Ok, now's a good time for the follow-up "LOL JK" tweet, guys.........guys??
Guess Barcelona and Spain didn't learn anything from Pedri's injuries a couple of years back.
What should anyone have 'learned' from Fatis injury?
Pedri kept getting injured by himself but fati was because of the Betis player, no?

19 years old with ACL and meniscus....I hope it doesn't detail his career. He's got so much potential.

Completely torn ACL at 19. Can't get any worse than that.
There is zero chance of him coming back as the player he was and even if he comes back strong he'll be fighting with it for the rest of his career.
Wirtz is playing a great season so far and he had a similar injury at a young age. Not saying it’s possible for everyone but there’s certainly a possibility that the injury won’t affect him in the future.
I get your point but zero means zero.
I'm not saying he can't recover and become a great player despite this. However a fully torn ligament will never heal 100% and will always be a liability.
It's a hard truth. Way too much evidence across multiple sports. Fucking sucks.

Zaniolo didn't come back as the same but he was still great, but after the second he was the shadow of the great player he was
I think he certainly can get back from it. The biggest issue is probably to get back into the same balls to the walls mental state. The knee won't feel exactly the same and that can be quite mentally challenging when you play like Gavi and throw yourself into any situation without fear.
It would have been much worse if he based a lot of his game on acceleration for example, but he doesn't.
So, worst case scenario.
Suicide bot I need you
Such a shame, especially at this young age. Speedy recovery to him.
Regardless of what I think of him as a player no one should be happy about injuries. I hope he receives nothing but recovery wishes and support.
This really sucks, he's a great player. Hope he comes back to the same level he was at
I think this is the most bummed out I have been from an injury ever. It's just super sad, and as a Barca fan this feels like the season is dead. Gavi has become the heart of the entire team. He makes shit work with his incredible work ethic.
There is nobody even remotely close of being able to replace him.
Football (and life) is so fucking unfair man. I'm lost for words...
horrible. hate to see young superstars get injured from too many minutes.
wishing gavi a full physical and mental recovery
