"Justin Bieber’s Songs Helped": Barcelona Doctor Discusses Gavi's Recovery Process

The club doctor of Barcelona shared insights on Gavi’s recovery following a severe anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Details: Pablo Merino explained that the rehabilitation process was intensive and involved the use of the pool at Hotel Sofia, located near the Spotify Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona.

Quote: “He worked on elements like flexibility and specific movements that were unimaginable outside the water. He found himself again, simply by being able to walk.”

Merino also created a unique Spotify playlist for Gavi that included songs by Justin Bieber, Natasha Bedingfield, and Michael Jackson, with the aim of “preaching patience” and aiding the recovery process as much as possible.

Recall: Nearly a year has passed since Gavi suffered a serious knee injury while playing for Spain against Georgia. The 20-year-old tore his anterior cruciate ligament and damaged his meniscus, leading to a long and painful rehabilitation journey. Gavi made his return in a match against Sevilla 10 days ago.
