Fucking hell the meniscus too... Him not playing again this season is the least of my worries, this is the type of injury that can mess up the rest of your carreer, especially as a 19 year old. Really hope he can fully recover.

Wait did he get the same injury as Ansu Fati?
Fati just had a meniscus tear I believe, Gavi has a full ACL tear and meniscus injury (which is common with an ACL injury).
ACL injuries are generally considered worse: longer recovery, usually need surgery, often aren't stable after surgery, but are less likely to lead to arthritis.
Fuck, that's awful. I was hoping it was only a partial tear...
Feels terrible, obviously he has been overplayed but that's also just terrible luck.
Ansu, pedri, araujo now gavi . Kill me before balde snaps his ass joint
See you in August Gavi.
Cant say I am gonna miss you, but damn do nobody deserve these kind of injuries.
I am guessing De La Fuente should stay away from La Rambla in the coming weeks.
Horrible to hear any player suffer an ACL tear. Even after the long journey to recovery, he’ll still have an awful long way to go before getting gets to his previous levels. I’m always wary of players never completely recovering from ACL tears
rip
I can't remember the last time someone's injury in football affected me this much . I'm genuinely heartbroken. Get well soon gavi <3 .
awful everything :(
I wish Barca gets relegated, obviously.
But never wish injuries on any player!
That really sucks and I hope he recovers well!
Fucking hurts my heart despite being a rival fan, I cannot bear to see young players with great talent and potential being hindered like that. Fuck FIFA & UEFA forever, inhumane schedules.
Is him being very young part of the problem, aka playing so much at a very young age, while his body is still developing? I mean, were he had a completely developed knee could have saved him of the injury?
I mean, I keep seeing kids‘ careers ended or ruined after playing a lot at the highest level (the-once-exceptional Fati being the other player that comes to mind). Maybe they should be forced by rules to NOT play so much?
Well, I probably make no sense. But I love Gavi and I’m honestly devastated by this news. His injury is a tragedy for world football in general and Spain especially.
Is is possible to have an artificial knee implant and play football at the top level?
Barca and ruining budding superstars with overuse: name a more iconic duo
More games, we all need more greed games!
Man, that's messed up.
I'm going to be positive and say that I hope he will fully recover, but probably the only player in the world it might be good for him if he will be a little less quicker. Xavi will have to stop playing him on the left wing

Hate to see it, get well soon.
He may never be the same and this is Barcas fault for running these young players into the ground.
So he's OK for Saturday?
I’ve been waiting 6 months for my meniscus tear surgery and this dude gets it the same week. I realize he’s a professional but common
poor guy but at least won’t affect barca’s form at all
Give me more international matches
not sure what happened with him, but saw tons of people saying online how he is always putting himself at risk of major injury with his play style
Horrible. My prayers for his speedy recovery 🙏
Michael Owen said in an interview a while back he was afraid to sprint after his injury and was never the same player again
