Subsequent reports from ESPN confirmed that Gavi had been diagnosed with a complete tear to his cruciate ligament and a meniscus rupture.

The impact of the injury on Gavi is evident, with the young midfielder visibly distraught. Teammates and competitors alike have rallied to offer their support during this challenging time.

Among those expressing solidarity are Gavi's teammates at Barcelona. In a video shared by the Catalan club on social media, Gavi is seen hobbling on crutches as he visits the club's training centre, Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. Upon entering the gym where his club teammates had gathered, he received an outpouring of support from both players and staff.
