The Federation has already reported that it is a “major injury” to the Barcelona player’s right knee.
Hands on my face, looking at the sky, almost crying and trying to walk normally but can’t.

Gavi injured his knee about 22 minutes into the first half, after making a bad move with no fight for the ball and no Georgians around. Two minutes earlier, an opponent had hit him, an action that required Gavi to be treated outside the playing field for several seconds. When he returned, in the action immediately after re-entering the grass, he was injured and this time he could not continue.
It is still too early to know exactly what injury Gavi has, but his actions are worrying. He was in pain, looked at the sky, seemed to go to the dressing room crying and covered his face with his hands, while the Zorrilla crowd applauded him and gave him strength, realizing that Gavi’s injury could have been serious. Spain’s ‘9’ went to the dressing room and it is expected that he will undergo medical tests in the coming hours to determine the extent of the injury. At the moment, his situation is worrying La Roja and also Barcelona. Especially after the Federation confirmed even during the match that Gavi had suffered a “significant injury to his right knee”. Given how careful the medical services are in reporting injuries, the fact that they talk about a “serious injury” already raises the alarm.
Ferran’s gesture
When they made it 2-1 against Georgia, Ferran Torres went to celebrate with a Gavi shirt, which he showed to the Zorrilla crowd.
