The Barcelona midfielder Gavi was to return in great shape this season, after spending last year recovering from a crossed ligament injury. The 21 -year -old suffers from a meniscus injury that will distance him from the field for more than a month.
Friday, the medical staff of FC Barcelona examined Gavi after two weeks of rest after his absence against the Rayo Vallecano. Gerard Romero expressed this information and indicated that the plan was to continue a conservative treatment of rest, in order to avoid a meniscian surgical intervention. The club and Gavi will meet again next week to assess Gavi's progress or the need for athroscopy.

Since then, Marca has indicated that, that he has followed a rest -based recovery program and a minimum intervention or that he will be operated on, he will be absent for at least six weeks. Even in the event of rest, it would seem that he does not come back before the international break in October. Barcelona will resume competition against Girona on October 18.
Gavi could miss the match against Valence.
If he undergoes an arthroscopy, it will take six weeks to recover. Even if the conservative treatment works and the recovery period is shorter, it will not be back before the match against Girona.
What matches will he miss?
The great disappointment for Gavi is that his presence at the Clasico of October 26, a week after the match against Girona, seems unlikely, even probably minimal. Between these two meetings, the Blaugrana receive Olympiakos in the Champions League.
Before the international break, Barcelona played seven games: Valence, Newcastle United, Getafe, Real Oviedo, Real Sociedad, Paris Saint-Germain and Seville. Marc Casado and Frenkie de Jong are the obvious replacements of Hansi Flick alongside Pedri, even if Marc Bernal could soon return to the race.
