    This really sucks, he’s a great player. Hope he comes back to the same level he was at

    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.

        Fati just had a meniscus tear I believe, Gavi has a full ACL tear and meniscus injury (which is common with an ACL injury).

        ACL injuries are generally considered worse: longer recovery, usually need surgery, often aren’t stable after surgery, but are less likely to lead to arthritis.

    Is is possible to have an artificial knee implant and play football at the top level?

    Horrible to hear any player suffer an ACL tear. Even after the long journey to recovery, he’ll still have an awful long way to go before getting gets to his previous levels. I’m always wary of players never completely recovering from ACL tears

    Is him being very young part of the problem, aka playing so much at a very young age, while his body is still developing? I mean, were he had a completely developed knee could have saved him of the injury?

    I mean, I keep seeing kids‘ careers ended or ruined after playing a lot at the highest level (the-once-exceptional Fati being the other player that comes to mind). Maybe they should be forced by rules to NOT play so much?

    Well, I probably make no sense. But I love Gavi and I’m honestly devastated by this news. His injury is a tragedy for world football in general and Spain especially.

    Fucking hurts my heart despite being a rival fan, I cannot bear to see young players with great talent and potential being hindered like that. Fuck FIFA & UEFA forever, inhumane schedules.

    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.
