Barcelona's young midfielder, Pablo Gavi, saw his promising 2023-24 season cut short after sustaining an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury during Spain's UEFA EURO qualifying match against Georgia.

The 19-year-old, who had been enjoying an impressive start to the campaign, collapsed in pain while attempting to control a pass in the 22nd minute of the game.

Perez sends Gavi letter

The Los Blancos chief sent a letter to the Barcelona teenager wishing a speedy recovery, as reported by ESPN.

The 76-year-old is not the only individual from the Madrid-based club to have sent Gavi their commiserations.

Other members of the Madrid-based club, including defender Dani Carvajal and forward Joselu Mato, also conveyed their support through social media.

Carvajal, in a social media post, emphasised the human connection beyond club and international rivalries:

"Rivals on the field and teammates in the national squad, but above all, human beings. You will come back much stronger, my friend."

Joselu, who assisted Gavi off the field after the injury, posted a message of encouragement:

"You are a fantastic kid, and you're going to come through this with bravery and courage - we are all supporting you."

Gavi's injury has drawn attention to concerns about the demanding football schedule he faced, having played 111 out of 121 games for Barcelona in all competitions since his senior debut in 2021.
