Gavi could miss Barcelona’s Copa del Rey quarter-final clash with Valencia on Thursday. After being substituted with a head injury in the game against Alaves.
Gavi was substituted in the first half of the 1-0 win at Alaves on doctors’ orders. And was taken to hospital for tests. Barcelona
confirmed their youngster was fine and released from hospital quickly. But the club said they would continue to monitor the midfielder’s condition.
Gavi could miss the game against Valencia because FIFA’s concussion prevention rules require players to follow certain guidelines before returning to the pitch.
The impact left both players sprawled on the pitch, prompting immediate concern from their teammates and the benches. Medical staff swiftly rushed onto the field to attend to the injured duo.
The match was halted for about five minutes as doctors assessed the players’ conditions. Ultimately, both had to be substituted, although Gavi initially resisted the decision.
However, such situations underscore the importance of prioritising player health and safety above all else.
Fortunately, the club later released a reassuring update on Gavi’s condition. Despite the head injury, there was no loss of consciousness, and medical tests returned normal results. He was subsequently discharged to recover at home.
If Barca confirm that Gavi has suffered a concussion, he will need at least six days to complete FIFA’s procedures, เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย reported . “A concussion can have a number of consequences and symptoms can develop or change within the minutes, hours and days following the impact. “
Therefore, a systematic procedure must be in place for the examination and treatment of players who have sustained a head injury,” FIFA’s regulations said.
Barcelona face Valencia on Thursday Then they will face Sevilla in La Liga on Sunday.
