""Gavi underwent intense sporting stress tests after finishing his conservation course of treatment for the radial injury to the internal meniscus in his right knee," a statement said. "The conclusion is that in order to guarantee the best possible recovery and return to competitive action, this Tuesday Gavi will undergo an arthroscopic examination by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau, under the supervision of the club's staff.""
"Fermín, meanwhile, will be out of action for around three weeks after injuring a muscle in Sunday's 3-0 win over Getafe. Fermín will be back sooner, but is still set to miss several games, starting with Real Oviedo on Thursday, Real Sociedad on Sunday and the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain next week. "Fermín has an iliopsoas muscle injury in his left leg," Barça's statement added. "He will be out of action for around three weeks.""
Barcelona have two midfield injury setbacks. Gavi needs a minor operation to address a radial injury to the internal meniscus in his right knee and is expected to be sidelined until at least November. Gavi returned from an ACL injury in the same knee last season and has not played since August. Medical staff decided arthroscopy is necessary, with Dr. Joan Carles Monllau to perform the procedure. Fermín López suffered an iliopsoas muscle injury in his left leg and will be out for about three weeks, missing several upcoming fixtures. Alejandro Balde is nearing a hamstring return and Lamine Yamal is pushing to return after missing three games.
