What’s wrong with Gavi’s head and why is he wearing a helmet against Georgia?
Since the concentration of the national team began last Monday in the Ciudad del Fútbol de Las Rozas, Gavi has practiced wearing a protective helmet so as not to receive a blow to his right ear, damaged during his last match with FC Barcelona (against Osasuna, in Pamplona) , as reported by the Selection through its social networks and on its official website.
We can’t forget that Gavi took a painful blow there and needed five staples to close that wound, but this hasn’t stopped him from working as yet again in training these days. Of course with the chiconera. “It’s already healing and it’s getting better,” explains Gavi, who is helped before each session by the national team’s doctor, Claudio Vázquez, so that the helmet fits well and does not bother. “I mainly wear it so that I don’t get hit because the staples can come loose. It’s mainly for protection.”
Although it may feel a bit strange at first, the Spain international is well accustomed to the helmet: “When it’s hot it’s a bit overwhelming, but well, it’s comfortable,” he summarizes.
