Romano: Gavey completely collapsed after learning about the injury; Barcelona will not sign people to strengthen the midfield

Hupu September 25th In the latest update of the personal YouTube podcast column, well-known transfer reporter Romano reported on the injury of Spanish midfielder Garvey and the emotional reaction of the player.

Romano said that Garvey's injury was undoubtedly a heavy hammer for the entire team and the players themselves. First of all, for the players themselves, this result was completely unexpected. Before undergoing arthroscopy, parties estimated that his quit would be about five to six weeks, but eventually it would take him four to five months to return to the field. Severe meniscus damage forced the doctor to perform an unplanned surgical suture. For the team, losing such a highly loved key player in the locker room will greatly reduce its overall strength in the midfield position.

Romano said that since Garvey is a long-term injury, Barcelona does have the right to find a replacement in the market - according to regulations, the injury time can be activated at least four months (the club announcement has met this condition), and the actual recovery period is likely to be as long as five months. However, the club's current tendency is to remain silent.

There are many reasons behind this decision. First of all, the transfer market has limited options, and currently there are only unsigned players to choose from, and it is difficult to find a replacement that meets Barcelona's standards. Neither coach Flick nor the sports management department are willing to sign for the purpose of recruitment.

Therefore, Barcelona believes that although Garvey's absence has a significant impact, the team's midfield configuration is still enough to support his return in January next year. If necessary, players such as Eric Garcia can also be added to the midfield position.
