Barcelona midfielder Gavi left the field in tears in the first half of his side’s La Liga clash against Athletic Club on Sunday.
The midfielder went down after clashing with Dani Garcia and appeared to suffer a groin injury. The Spain international had to be taken off and was replaced by Franck Kessie as his side went on to win 4-0 in the league match.
La Blaugrana recorded back to back La Liga wins after losing 2-1 to Real Madrid in their El Clasico trip to the Spanish capital last weekend.
The Kopa Trophy winner did look in real pain before he went off but early reports suggest there is no real injury and Gavi should be fine.
Indeed Gavi was spotted back on the pitch at full-time to shake hands with the Athletic players and did seem to be fairly healthy.

Xavi was able to deliver a positive update on Gavi in his post-match press conference, with Sergi Roberto picking up a more serious knock. “Gavi will be fine for Wednesday,” said the Barca boss. ”We will lose Sergi for a few days, we will see the tests tomorrow.”
