The photo is more shocking than what, luckily, ended up happening between Gavi and the Argentine Tomás Conechny. The beginning of the duel between Barcelona and the Alavés led by Eduardo ‘Chacho’ Coudet was framed by the shock of heads between the two midfielders, who had to be replaced by the sanitary protocol, despite the anger with which the Spanish was withdrawn because he thought that he thought that I was able to stay on the playing field.
In the 15th minute of the match on the 22nd of Spain, at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, both players went to play an air ball in the center of the court and were lying on the grass, which motivated the rapid intervention of Medical services during at least six minutes.
Conechny abandoned the pitch on a stretcher and with a protection in the neck, although conscious and moving, while regretting for missing such an important game for Alavés, that fights for the permanence of the hand of ‘Chacho’ Coudet. He was taken to a hospital in Barcelona to undergo a medical exam, according to the club.
Meanwhile, Gavi left the field by his own means and even tried to continue, arguing with the doctors of the culé team and several of his teammates who recommended leaving the playing field by caution. It was coach Hansi Flick who chose to replace him with Fermín López.
