The midfielder has been hit with a fresh injury blow but appears to be in defiant mood and ready to face the long road to recovery ahead.

Gavi posted a message of himself in hospital and surrounded by visitors Pedri, Ronald Araujo and Lamine Yamal.

Here’s what he’s had to say:

“Those of you who know me know that I will come back whenever it takes to defend Barça and mine until the end. A true champion is not forged in the moments of success, but in those in which he rises after falling. Thank you all for the messages of encouragement and love!”

Reports have suggested that Gavi is pretty devastated at being sidelined for such a long period again which is understandable after he worked so hard to return from ACL surgery.

However, his post on social media shows his characteristic fighting spirit and that he’s ready to battle back from yet another setback.
