In a devastating blow for both Spain and Barcelona, young midfielder Gavi has suffered a significant injury to his right knee during Sunday's clash with Georgia. The initial check conducted by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has confirmed a major injury, prompting the need for further tests to ascertain the full extent of the damage.

Gavi, who was forced off the field in the first half of the match, appeared to be in immense pain as he struggled to walk off the pitch. Concerns surrounding the severity of his injury have heightened, with the team doctor, Óscar Luis Celada, stating that the team is "very worried" about the midfielder's condition.

An official diagnosis is yet to be determined, but there is a fear that Gavi has torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), an injury that typically requires a lengthy rehabilitation period. If confirmed, it is likely that Gavi will be sidelined for the rest of the season, dealing a significant blow to both his club and national team.

Gavi's teammates have displayed their support for the young talent in light of the distressing news. Spanish forward Ferran Torres, after scoring a goal, held up Gavi's shirt as a gesture of solidarity and encouragement.

Fans and football enthusiasts will now eagerly await further updates regarding Gavi's prognosis. The early reports paint a worrying picture, hinting at potential bad news for the rising star. Barcelona Blaugranes will provide updates on Gavi's injury as soon as more information becomes available.

This setback will undoubtedly impact Spain's future plans and Barcelona's aspirations for the remainder of the season. The extent of Gavi's injury and the subsequent period of recovery will be of great significance to both parties involved.
