The Daily Sports reported that Garvey will adopt a conservative treatment plan.
Gave's knee injury continued to plague the Barcelona locker room, and his right knee was discomfort again. It seemed that only surgery could be solved, but according to the Daily Sports News, the player finally chose a conservative treatment plan.
Although initially expressed as discomfort, the actual situation shows that the problem is more serious. The player suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament of his right knee and accompanied by an lateral meniscus injury in November 2023 against Georgia. The
ligaments have healed perfectly, but the doctor confirmed the problem with the meniscus. The knee that has undergone surgery may cause associated injuries. According to Sell Radio's program, its medial meniscus has been damaged, which is a relatively mild injury. It is even more difficult if the previously damaged lateral meniscus has another problem.
Gave fought with injuries until he decided to suspend the game for evaluation. After in-depth examination, all signs indicate that the surgery is the best option, but conservative treatment can also be effective. Garvey is unwilling to miss the field for a long time. Although the surgical plan has been put on the agenda, it has now been put on the shelves. With the player's consent, the medical team has determined the treatment plan. All signs initially point to the possibility that arthroscopy might be the solution, but the final decision has not been made.
Although Garvey was not the absolute main player at the beginning of this season, he still got playing time and was even called by Drafun to participate in the match against Bulgaria and Turkey. Barcelona then announced that Garvey missed the game against Vallecano due to injury, and Dela Fuente called Alex Garcia to substitute.
Garvey has been confirmed to miss this Sunday's battle against Valencia. His recovery progress will determine when he will return in the future. His absence will be a major blow to the start of the Champions League and the league championship.
Although Garvey's fighting spirit and strength are obvious to all, Frick still has many choices in the midfield position, Pedri is a solid starter, and Cassado is fully prepared. Garvey and Frick's technical team's top priority is to completely eliminate knee discomfort and deal with it with the most rigorous attitude.
Gavey is setting a return example for Bernal, who has been medically licensed and has a first-team number. Although it may return to the roster at any time, the club will take a gradual approach to avoiding risks.
Barcelona had to deal with two difficult cases, Garvey and Bernal, and its management always followed the principle of extreme caution in medical care. It is true that the knee may relapse at any time as a joint, but Gavey should not be absent for a long time.
