The details of Gavi's injury in the Spanish national team have emerged

The head coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, expressed his opinion about the injury of Barcelona midfielder Gavi.

"Nobody from Barcelona asked me not to let Gavi play in the second match. As for the RFEF, I am not aware. When the players are with us, we only think about the national team. We had an assumption that Gavi would only play 45 minutes in the second match, but Jesus Navas was injured. We gave priority to the player's health. All the footballers were eager to participate in the second match, and Gavi even more. He is very persistent. The idea was for him to play in the first game and 45 minutes in the second. If we saw that he had an injury, we would replace him,” AS quotes Fuente as saying.

19-year-old Gavi suffered damage to the cruciate ligament of the knee and lateral meniscus in the qualifying match for the 2024 European Championship with the Georgian national team (3:1). According to preliminary forecasts, the young footballer will be out until the end of the season.

This season, the midfielder played 15 matches, in which he scored two goals and made one assist.
