It has been confirmed that both Fermín López and Gavi will be out for a while, dealing Barcelona a double injury blow. A small procedure is necessary for Gavi to address a meniscus issue in his knee.
A source told ESPN that the midfield player is anticipated to be sidelined until at least November, but Barça has not disclosed the length of his absence. When Fermín injured a muscle during Sunday’s 3-0 victory against Getafe, he was out for around three weeks.
Gavi hasn’t played since August after recovering from an ACL injury in the same knee during the previous campaign. Barça had thought that surgery would be preventable, but ultimately, that hasn’t been the case.
After completing his conservative course of treatment for the radial damage to the internal meniscus in his right knee, Gavi completed rigorous athletic stress testing, according to a release.

However, according to Adria Albets’ most recent report on Que t’hi Jugues, Fermin Lopez’s injury situation is improving for Barcelona. According to the report, the club and the dressing room are more upbeat about the La Masia graduate’s condition than they were on Sunday.
Ahead of a pivotal run of games, Barça may be greatly relieved to learn that the situation is better than first thought. Fermin visited the club’s facilities earlier today and underwent medical examinations; the outcome of these tests will establish the precise nature and extent of the issue.
It has been determined that, with the guidance of the club’s personnel, Gavi will have an arthroscopic examination on Tuesday by Dr. Joan Carles Monllau in order to provide the greatest possible recovery and return to competitive play.
Lamine Yamal is also attempting to make a comeback after missing the previous three games, and Alejandro Balde is getting closer to making a comeback from a hamstring injury.
