Gavi, the golden boy of Barcelona midfield, suffered his ACL injury during Spain’s Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia a completely avoidable game. The injury could have been avoided and it is all the fault of the man Luis de la Fuente.
The injury occurred on November 19, and Gavi was forced to leave the pitch after just 26 minutes of play. This injury is a significant setback for both Gavi and FC Barcelona, as it requires surgery and will sideline him for several months, ruling him out for the rest of the season.

Reason for Gavi’s injury to happen
Well it is supposed to happen I mean not sure why anyone would be surprised by this. My problem is it happened in a match that did not require him to be played.
He has overplayed for club and country. Barcelona already has a thinned out squad in the midfield section. They haven’t learned from what is happening with Pedri they repeating their mistakes again and again. It is just bad administrative decision putting players at risk of injury for no apparent reason. Extremely scummy decision.
Footballing world reaction to Gavi’s Injury
Teammates and rivals started showing their support online for Gavi’s return to the pitch which is a very heart warming gesture to show. Here are some:
A tweet from the arch rivals. Looks like he is a player everyone loves and hates as well.
Club Reaction on the injury
FC Barcelona officially provided their update on Gavi’s injury. He is expected to go through a surgery in the coming days.
This is one scary stat though. Not sure why but it always feels to me the player in La Liga gets injured way too often as compared to other leagues or even looking at historical data. Really need to dig deeper why it happens. I mean look at Iniesta, Modric, Kroos, Griezmann, Messi, Suarez, Dani Alves, Ronaldo, Carvajal any of these players get injured. How has the frequency been looking way too high compared to what used to happen. Even Neymar was consistent.
Conclusion
Well do the obvious and stop overplaying players. Stop choking the clubs with FPP rules. Tebas has resigned to conduct a new election.
Kindly sack the guy so that players are not overworked unless their body stops responding as expected. Every team is suffering with recurrent injuries and bad management. Stop this madness before its too late.
