Gavi to Continue Conservative Treatment for Now, Surgery Remains an Option
FC Barcelona midfielder Gavi will continue with conservative treatment for his right knee injury for another week, the club has indicated, delaying a potential decision on arthroscopic surgery. A new evaluation is scheduled following this period to assess the progress of his recovery.
the situation centers on GaviS ongoing knee pain and the timeline for his return to full fitness. While the aim is for the 19-year-old to be fully recovered by the October international break, a continued lack of betterment could lead to surgery. Club medical staff are prioritizing a return to play as quickly as possible, but are weighing that against the potential for a longer recovery if conservative methods fail.
If pain persists, an arthroscopy would become increasingly likely, potentially sidelining Gavi for approximately five weeks. Should he undergo the procedure next week, he would be expected to return after the subsequent league break. Though, a positive response to the current treatment plan could see him back on the pitch before then.
the club hopes Gavi reaches 100 percent fitness after the October break, avoiding any further delays to his season. The next week will be crucial in determining whether surgery is necessary to meet that goal.
