Spain midfielder Gavi believes Argentina's Leandro Paredes should not be suspended for his role in the ugly scenes that followed the World Cup final, despite the Barcelona midfielder being shoved to the ground during the post-match confrontation.
Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente says Barcelona star Gavi's enthusiasm at training has been motivating the rest of the squad ahead of their opening match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Barcelona have been given a timely boost with Gavi moving into the final phase of his recovery, as the midfielder edges closer to a return to full team training.
Barcelona midfielder Gavi has delivered a positive update on his recovery from knee surgery and has vowed to return at one hundred percent when he is cleared to play again.
Barcelona have been dealt a major blow with confirmation that midfielder Gavi will miss up to five months after undergoing knee surgery.
FC Barcelona are monitoring Gavi's knee injury with growing concern after the 21-year-old midfielder continued to report pain in his previously operated right knee.
