"Gavi is facing a long spell out of action after he underwent knee surgery, Barcelona have confirmed. The Spain international only returned from an ACL injury last season, but has not featured for Barca since August. And the 21-year-old will now be sidelined for between four and five months after surgery was performed on his meniscus in the same knee he previously injured. Barca confirmed the news on Tuesday, with Hansi Flick's team in LaLiga action on Thursday against Real Oviedo."

Barca are also set to be without Fermin Lopez for around three weeks after the midfielder sustained a muscle injury during Sunday's win over Getafe."
Gavi underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair a medial meniscus injury in the same knee where he previously suffered an ACL tear. The meniscus was sutured in an operation with an expected recovery period of around four to five months. The 21-year-old Spain international has not played for Barcelona since August and only returned from the prior ACL injury last season. The timeline now makes it likely that he will be sidelined into the new year. Barcelona also expect midfielder Fermin Lopez to miss about three weeks with a muscle injury sustained during the win over Getafe.
