Gavi had successful surgery today. The club estimates a recovery time of four to five months.

Official update

The club’s official statement says he underwent an arthroscopy on his right knee and the meniscus was sutured to preserve it. The expected recovery window is around four to five months.

Why the timeline shifted

According to reports coming out of Spain, doctors first tried conservative treatment. When the pain did not settle, surgery was chosen. Once inside the joint, the medical team found more damage than expected, so they sutured the meniscus to protect the knee for the long term. This extended the timeline beyond the early estimates.
