[Saba Sports News] In the upcoming intense La Liga match between Rayo
Vallecano and Barcelona, a noteworthy event is set to take place. Barcelona
have made special preparations for this round of games by wearing jerseys that
carry the message: “We are with you, Gavi.” This gesture aims to show
support for Gavi, who unfortunately suffered a severe injury while playing for
the national team. Gavi, a highly regarded young talent and a future star of
Barcelona, holds a special place within the team. He has garnered significant
attention from his predecessors. However, during his time with the Spain, Gavi
sustained a serious injury, diagnosed as a complete tear of the cruciate
ligament and a meniscus injury. This injury will sideline him for an estimated
period of 8-9 months, meaning he will miss out on both the league matches and
the opportunity to participate in the upcoming European Championship next
summer. Despite being only 19 years old, Gavi has already made a name for
himself. In last year’s Qatar World Cup group stage, he made history by
becoming the youngest player to represent Spain in the World Cup. Additionally,
he became the youngest goalscorer in World Cup history since Pele in 1958,
during Spain’s remarkable 7-0 victory over Costa Rica.
