JAKARTA - Barcelona midfielder Gavi will be out for up to five months after undergoing surgery to cope with a meniscus injury in his right knee.
Gavi, who returned from an ACL injury in the same knee last season, has not appeared since August 2025.
"Permain tim utama Pablo Paez Gavira 'Gavi' telah menjalani artroskopi untuk mengatasi cedera meniskus medial, yang disebut untuk menahan meniskus."
"The recovery period is estimated to be around 4-5 months," Barcelona said in a statement.

Barcelona initially hoped the operation could be avoided, but that hope failed to materialize.
The 21-year-old previously missed 11 months after experiencing a torn ACL while playing for the Spanish National Team in November 2023.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will travel to Real Oviedo on Friday, September 26, 2025 WIB, before hosting Real Sociedad on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
The new injury means Gavi will return in the last few months of Barcelona season and ahead of the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
