The bad news for Barcelona keeps coming in the form of health issues within the team.
As if having up to six players on the treatment tables wasn’t bad enough, it looks like the Catalans have lost yet another important player.
While playing for Spain, Gavi got hurt.
In fact, Carrusel Deportivo says that Barcelona’s star midfielder Gavi hurt himself today while working with Spain.
Barcelona is already missing two important midfielders: Pedri and Frenkie de Jong. However, Pedri is almost ready to return.
But now it looks like Gavi has also been hurt, making things even worse for Barcelona as they get ready for a tough run of games.
The story from Carrusel doesn’t say what kind of injury it is; it just says that both Gavi and Nico Williams, who is also hurt, are waiting for more tests.
In the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers, Spain will play Scotland this Thursday. On Sunday, they will play Norway. I’m not sure if Gavi will be able to play in those games right now.
On the other hand, after the international break, Barcelona will play Athletic Club, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Real Madrid all in the same week.
Xavi Hernandez and his team would be really hurt if they lost Gavi as well since De Jong is already set to miss those games.
More information is being awaited about the 2022 Golden Boy Award winner.
