The Athletic Barcelona reporters Pol Ballús and Laia Cervelló Herrero reported that Gave's meniscus was originally judged to be contusional, but it was found to be broken during surgical examination.

When Garvey arrived at the Barcelona hospital this Monday, he thought he would undergo a surgery to completely resolve the right knee discomfort that had been plaguing him since August. However, everyone, including the doctor, was surprised because Garvey's injury was much worse than expected.

Gavy was originally scheduled to undergo arthroscopy. The player was injured during training on August 29, with the injured knee and the same leg that suffered a cruciate ligament torn. When they suffered another injury, people were worried about another cruciate ligament injury, but preliminary examination ruled out this possibility and believed that it was probably a meniscus contusion, so the doctor recommended conservative treatment.

However, after three weeks of conservative treatment, Gavey was still feeling pain, and the Barcelona team doctor and external experts decided to undergo arthroscopy, with the initial expected recovery time of four to five weeks. But when an arthroscopy was performed on Monday, the injury was found to be more serious. Garvey's meniscus is actually broken and requires suture repair, so the recovery time is extended to five months. The club was shocked by the news, sources inside the locker room revealed that Barcelona first-team players were very sad about it, long-term injuries were a nightmare for football players, and Garvey was loved in the locker room, with Yamal, Araujo and Pedri all visiting him on Monday morning. Frick was also very close to Garvey, who visited the hospital on Tuesday morning.
