Barcelona issues a crucial update on Gavi’s injury against Alaves

Barcelona’s narrow 1-0 victory over Alaves was affected by a terrifying head of heads between Gavi and Tomas Conechny.

The impact left both players extended in the field, which caused an immediate concern of their teammates and banks. The medical staff quickly rushed into the field to serve the injured duo.

The game stopped for about five minutes when doctors evaluated the conditions of the players. Finally, both had to be replaced, although Gavi initially resisted the decision.

The young midfielder showed his characteristic determination, walking towards the band line and insisting that he was in the way to continue. Despite his protests, the club doctor was not convinced, expressing concerns about his safety.

Ronald Araujo and Raphinha also approached Gavi, urging him to prioritize their well -being and accept the substitution.

However, the intervention of the manager Hansi Flick was needed to finally persuade the midfielder to leave the field. Fermin López was brought as Gavi replacement.

Declaration of Barcelona

This incident once again highlighted Gavi’s struggle and unwavering commitment to the team, qualities that have attracted it to the supporters of Barcelona.

However, such situations underline the importance of prioritizing the health and safety of the player above all.

Fortunately, the club then launched a reassuring update on Gavi’s condition. Despite the head injury, there was no loss of consciousness, and medical tests returned normal results. He was subsequently discharged to recover at home.

“During this afternoon’s game against Alavés, Gavi suffered a head injury without loss of consciousness. The tests have been normal and has been discharged from home ”, Read the statement.

As things are, there are no indications that Gavi will miss the next matches.

Barcelona will face a crucial draw in the quarterfinals in the Copa del Rey against Valencia on Thursday, and the availability of the young midfielder will be a welcome impulse for the team.
