Spanish press reports revealed that Barcelona is facing the risk of losing his young midfielder Javi, for a long time, after preliminary tests showed that the injury he suffered recently was more dangerous than expected.
What is the nature of the new Javi injury?
According to Radio Radio Catalonia, the player was injured in the Hilal cartilage of the right knee, the same knee in which he had previously been cut into a cruciate ligament, away from the stadiums for several months. The radio explained that this type of injury may require surgery, which increases the chances of his long absence from the field.
How did the injury affected Javi’s participation with the national team?
Immediately, Spain announced a dry exclusion from its current camp during the international stopping period, and its absence from the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Is there a final evaluation of his medical status?
The Catalan newspaper Sport indicated that the player will undergo a comprehensive examination today, Monday, to determine the extent of accurate infection, and to resolve the decision on the way to deal with it.
The newspaper confirmed that all the scenarios are on the end of the continuation of the conservative treatment if its condition is stabilized, or undergoing laparoscopic surgery to clean the affected area, if the pain continues. In both cases, Javi will be absent from the upcoming Valencia match in the Spanish League, and his departure period may be long.
Does the infection affect the cruciate ligament again?
The sources indicate that the cruciate ligament is sound, and that the problem is limited to cartilage only, which reduces the risk of infection compared to what happened previously. However, caution and time remain decisive to determine the future of the player near Barcelona.
How does Barcelona deal with Javi injury?
Javi is one of the main pillars of the Catalan club squad, and is seen as one of the future faces of the team. Under his repeated injury, the medical and administrative apparatus will face a difficult decision regarding the balance between the speed of return and the guarantee of complete hospitalization.
