Gavi's season with Barcelona is over. We won't see the midfielder in action until 2024/25 pre-season, as the recovery process will take him up from 7 to 9 months.
Replacing the youngster, if possible at all, is a daunting task — the 19-year-old has been putting in a titanic effort on the pitch.
Here are two possible options for Xavi to field his players in Gavi's absence:
Option 1
One of the most obvious options is to use a midfield trio of Pedri - De Jong - Gundo.
Option 2
Some fans believe that Barca boss should use Fermin Lopez more often, since he is the closest to Gavi replacement Blaugrana have in their squad.
He could also turn to La Masia's talents from time to time, with players like Mark Casado or Alex Garrido just a call-up away from the senior squad.
