19 years old with ACL and meniscus…I hope it doesn’t detail his career. He’s got so much potential.
I think you meant to say “Derail”.
But that’s fine. I just wanted to upvote for the username. Keep fapping with your preferred dildo, awesome Internet person.
Hahaha that made me laugh out loud as well
Keep it up fellow reddit stranger😎
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.
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?
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.
Wait did he get the same injury as Ansu Fati?
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?
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
The problem is that Barça has a very thin squad and it didn’t help that Pedri and De Jong have been injured at several points of the season
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.
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 it’s possible for everyone but there’s certainly a possibility that the injury won’t 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.
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
