Pablo Garvey, one of the "Icons of the Apocalypse," eventually got sick. From his team to the national team's A match, he was forced to sit out for up to eight months due to a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament.
Spain's As said on the 20th, "Gavi ruptured anterior cruciate ligament as a result of the first medical test. "I will not be able to compete for at least six to eight months," he said, adding, "I will not be able to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics as well as the European Championships." It will also be a big blow to his team Barcelona, he said, adding that Gabi suffered a serious long-term injury.
Gabi was an icon of abuse representing European football. After making his debut in Barcelona's first team in the 2021/22 season, he has played as a built-in mainstay since last season and has played in numerous games. In addition, he played an important role in the Spanish national team and ran tirelessly. 스포츠토토
Gabi, who played 2,326 minutes in 34 league games in his first season since debut, also played 2,543 minutes in 36 league games last season. This season, he played 943 minutes in 12 games. As a member of the Spanish national team, he started all six matches in this year's European Championship qualifying round (Euro 2024). He played 21 games this season alone, and played more than 1,600 minutes.
There are a lot of games, but there is a lot of activity itself. It moves back and forth from the rear to the front, recording an average of nearly 13 kilometers of activity per game. He is ranked first in La Liga this season, running 12.367 kilometers per game, and in last month's UEFA Champions League match against Porto, he ran 13.12 kilometers. It is a huge figure considering that Park Ji-sung, who was called "two hearts," ran about 11 kilometers.
Gabi, who played at the level of overwork without a break, eventually got sick. He started in the final Euro 2024 qualifying match against Georgia on the 20th and was replaced in the 26th minute of the first half.
According to As, Oskar Luis Celada, Spain's national team doctor, said, "I am very worried about Gabi's physical condition," signaling a serious injury. OK Diario captured and shared Gavi leaving on crutches after the game on social media.
Amid the recent increase in the number of games, players have been injured, and even Gavi suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture, leading to criticism against Spain's coach Luis de la Fuente. It is criticized that Gavi was forced to start with the confirmation of qualifying for the Euro 2024 finals.
Earlier, De La Fuente said, "Gavi is a very active player. I don't want to rest. Because you have energy, you run that much and play well. Good players don't rest," he said, pushing ahead with Gabi's participation. After Gabi's injury, he said, "It's an injury that can happen at any time. It was a coincidental and unfortunate accident. Gabi was in good physical condition to play like other players," he explained.
In response, Sport reporter Joseph Capdevilla said, "I don't think you understand that a 19-year-old player should be able to rest in non-important games. He criticized coaches such as De La Puente, saying, "Barcelona was very angry at the news of Gabi's injury," and said Mundo Deportivo was angry at the federation's decision to go ahead with Gabi's participation.
In addition to Gabi, many players are collapsing from injuries this season alone. Urien Timber, who joined Arsenal, is also out with a cruciate ligament injury, and Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne injured his hamstring and will not be able to return within this year. Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior also recently suffered a muscle injury that is expected to take more than two months to return after the Brazil match.
Korean soccer is no one else's business. Kim Min-jae, who is playing without a break in Bayern Munich, is also continuously running until the national team's A match. It hasn't been a problem so far, but you don't know when you'll get a big injury.
