Barcelona secured a narrow 1-0 win over Alav\u00e9s, but the match was overshadowed by a concerning head collision between Gavi and Tom\u00e1s Conechny.<\/p>\n
The impact left both players on the ground, prompting immediate reactions from teammates and staff. Medical personnel quickly entered the pitch to assess their conditions.<\/p>\n
Play was paused for approximately five minutes while doctors examined the duo. Both were eventually substituted, though Gavi initially resisted, determined to continue playing.<\/p>\n
The young midfielder walked to the sideline, insisting he was fine, but the club doctor remained unconvinced due to safety concerns. Ronald Ara\u00fajo and Raphinha also encouraged Gavi to prioritize his health. Ultimately, manager Hansi Flick had to step in to convince him to leave the field, with Fermin L\u00f3pez coming on as his replacement.<\/p>\n
Barcelona later released a statement emphasizing Gavi\u2019s resilience but also highlighting the importance of prioritizing player well-being. Fortunately, medical evaluations showed no signs of serious injury or loss of consciousness, allowing him to recover at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cDuring this afternoon\u2019s match against Alav\u00e9s, Gavi suffered a head injury without loss of consciousness. The tests have been normal, and he has been discharged to recover at home,\u201d the club stated.<\/p>\n
At present, there are no indications that Gavi will miss any upcoming games. His availability will be a significant boost for Barcelona as they prepare for a crucial Copa del Rey quarter-final against Valencia on Thursday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
