Barcelona's 5-0 win over Elche should have been a night of celebration. Instead, the sight of Gavi sitting on the pitch holding his right knee created an immediate sense of worry.
The Barcelona midfielder was forced off in the 44th minute after going down following a collision with Marc Aguado.
Gavi immediately signalled that he could not continue, and the concern was obvious from his reaction as he sat on the grass, removed his shin guards and repeatedly held the affected area.
Notably, the discomfort came in the same right knee in which Gavi suffered a serious anterior cruciate ligament injury in November 2023, along with damage to the lateral meniscus.
That history means Gavi's injury will be watched closely until Barcelona receive the results of his medical tests.
