Gavi, 19, was forced to withdraw in the first half by manager Luis de la Fuente.

The midfielder was seen grimacing on the pitch as he limped off in agony.

He then tried to continue but was forced to come off in tears.

And in a recent video uploaded on the Catalan giant’s Twitter account, the youngster returned to the Barcelona training ground in crutches.

The minute-long clip captioned “Always Gavi #EveryoneWithGavi” followed the player as he was applauded, hugged and kissed by his Barcelona teammates and coaching staff.

It has been announced that Gavi will be out for the rest of the season.

The teenager exploded on to the scene when he made his debut for the La Liga side in 2021.

Early comparisons saw him labelled the ‘next Xavi‘ because of his passing skills and excellent vision.

The playmaker has since gone on to make 111 appearances for the European giants.

The Spain superstar has also won the Kopa Trophy and the Golden Boy trophy.

Meanwhile, this could be a massive injury blow to Barcelona who had pinned their hopes on Gavi this season, following injuries to Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.

The latter has recently returned to the first team fold, and De Jong is expected to be fit after the international break.
