Thatβs a terrible injury
Knees are going out lads
It's fucking horrible
poor guy but at least wonβt affect barcaβs form at all
Words can't describe how angry I am right now. Yesterday was the worst day of my life being a sports fan so I decided to take an off day on Monday.
Now I wake up and see Gavi has torn his ACL.Fuck everything and fuck me

Ansu, pedri, araujo now gavi . Kill me before balde snaps his ass joint
People will put all the blame towards the Spanish coach, but Barca have continuously played this 19 year old kid for a long while now.
Surely at that age minutes should be managed more sensibly instead of relentless playing time?
Barca have games that are important and they do rest him.
De La Fuente literally use him even in games that don't mean shit while resting everyone else.
So far this season he played every game that he was not suspended for with Barca
Last season he got played in all but 1 game that he was not suspended for. Including Copa Del Rey/ Supercopa/ CL
Season before that he was played in every CL and Europa league game that he was not suspended for. He wasn't picked for the first two league games of the season but played every single game afterwards including Copa Del Rey and SuperCopa where he wasn't suspended and 2 where he was positive for Covid
so far this season De Jong and Pedri has been injured for most it.
Last season Xavi played with 4 midfielders.
That is the point. Barca had games that were important. This was just a useless international game that had no point as they were already qualified yet De La Fuente played Gavi while resting everyone else and it ended with Gavi out for over 6 months.

We don't even know whether the injury is due to him being overplayed or not, I'm not sure why that's the consensus on this sub right now
It's true that we cannot know that for sure. Traditionally it was believed ACL injuries was usually a result of a one off situation/accident, but in later years there have been studies that suggest that overplaying (cumulative stress) can result in a tear/rupture in lower load situations. Gavis injury does visually appear to happen in a situation you wouldn't expect the ACL to fail so easiliy.
Seems the norm in current football, Barça is pushing literal teenagers to their limits and De La Fuente already pushed Pedri further to the point that he can't stay in the field at the age of 21.
RM has a similar issue with injuries but Camavinga is already 21 and the rest of their injured players are older. But in general, teams are being over reliant on teenagers and players in their very early 20s, what makes me guess if those players will be healthy in 10 years.
So like resting Him for a natural 2 week break during the season?

Bin the season
Completely torn ACL at 19. Can't get any worse than that.
There is zero chance of him coming back as the player he was and even if he comes back strong he'll be fighting with it for the rest of his career.
Wirtz is playing a great season so far and he had a similar injury at a young age. Not saying itβs possible for everyone but thereβs certainly a possibility that the injury wonβt affect him in the future.
I get your point but zero means zero.
I'm not saying he can't recover and become a great player despite this. However a fully torn ligament will never heal 100% and will always be a liability.
It's a hard truth. Way too much evidence across multiple sports. Fucking sucks.

Zaniolo didn't come back as the same but he was still great, but after the second he was the shadow of the great player he was
I think he certainly can get back from it. The biggest issue is probably to get back into the same balls to the walls mental state. The knee won't feel exactly the same and that can be quite mentally challenging when you play like Gavi and throw yourself into any situation without fear.
It would have been much worse if he based a lot of his game on acceleration for example, but he doesn't.
Fuck. Horrible news. Feels like the minutes caught up to him
As if ACL injury isn't enough, there is lateral meniscus injury as well which makes it much worse. Speedy recovery for Gavi, always like the kid, such a joy to watch.
ACL tears usually comes with a meniscus tear aswell. Though a meniscus tear Isnt has bad as the tearing of the ACL. Post acl tear and rehabilitation you Usually you dont have to intervene with operation on the meniscus, in majority of cases youll be fine with rehab. The Acl is the most crucial to reconstruct.
Makes me really sad seeing young developing players get big injuries, felt the same when Fati got injured too. Get well soon Gavi.
This really throws a spanner in his career in the age frame where he should be developing the most.
Seriously unlucky.
That's dreadful. Hopefully makes a full recovery
Suicide bot I need you
Thanks a lot de la Fuente you fucking dumbass
Good fucking job, thanks Luis
Ok, now's a good time for the follow-up "LOL JK" tweet, guys.........guys??
owari da
Fuck everything
Football (and life) is so fucking unfair man. I'm lost for words...
So, worst case scenario.
Guess Barcelona and Spain didn't learn anything from Pedri's injuries a couple of years back.
Pedri kept getting injured by himself but fati was because of the Betis player, no?
fati's real problem was rehab after the injury
What should anyone have 'learned' from Fatis injury?
Such a shame, especially at this young age. Speedy recovery to him.
Regardless of what I think of him as a player no one should be happy about injuries. I hope he receives nothing but recovery wishes and support.
I think this is the most bummed out I have been from an injury ever. It's just super sad, and as a Barca fan this feels like the season is dead. Gavi has become the heart of the entire team. He makes shit work with his incredible work ethic.
There is nobody even remotely close of being able to replace him.
This really sucks, he's a great player. Hope he comes back to the same level he was at
More games, we all need more greed games!
Feels terrible, obviously he has been overplayed but that's also just terrible luck.
horrible. hate to see young superstars get injured from too many minutes.
wishing gavi a full physical and mental recovery
Horrible to hear any player suffer an ACL tear. Even after the long journey to recovery, heβll still have an awful long way to go before getting gets to his previous levels. Iβm always wary of players never completely recovering from ACL tears
Fucking hell the meniscus too... Him not playing again this season is the least of my worries, this is the type of injury that can mess up the rest of your carreer, especially as a 19 year old. Really hope he can fully recover.

Fuck, that's awful. I was hoping it was only a partial tear...
See you in August Gavi.
Cant say I am gonna miss you, but damn do nobody deserve these kind of injuries.
I am guessing De La Fuente should stay away from La Rambla in the coming weeks.
Barca and Spain have completely failed Pedri and Gavi
