Yesterday however, reports emerged from Carrusel Deportivo that Golden Boy Gavi sustained an injury in a training session while away with Spain. It wasn't specified what kind of injury, but evaluations were ongoing. As one can expect, this sent a new round of panic across the fanbase.
Today, an update from SPORT's Jordi gil was released, one which should bring some relief to the Barcelona fans. He has been suffering from a bit of discomfort, an apparent hangover from the weekend clash against Granada. Wisely enough, he was withdrawn from Monday's training and missed a few workouts yesterday as a precaution. In a nutshell, there's no injury. But he's obviously at risk of one, so La Roja will do well to manage his minutes as they prepare for Scotland's visit tomorrow.
This comes as a relief for FC Barcelona. The 19 year old has grown to become one of the club's most essential players so far this season, putting in gritty and effective performances ever since he was moved into his natural midfield position. With Xavi already missing key midfielders like Pedri and DeJong to injury, losing Gavi would've been an enormous blow, with fixtures against Athletic Club, Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid all coming within the space of a week after the break.
