The present concentration of Spanish selection has left one of the most viral images in recent days. The cameras were fixed on Gavi due to the cumbersome protective helmetsimilar to a rugby one, which he carries as a result of a blow he received in the right ear during the last league match against health (1-2), which ended with victory on the edge for Xavi’s men thanks to a goal from Lewandowski from eleven meters
His strong clash with ruben garcia caused the ‘6’ of Barça to suffer a significant hemorrhage in the right navicular fossa. Once the clash was over, the medical services of the culé team put three staples on him to stop the gap. A setback that has forced him to wear a helmet that protects the upper and lower area of his head as well as his scar-damaged ear.
This spectacular protective measure has become object of laughter and jokes in the present concentration of the National Team, which started this Monday in Las Rozas. Gavi’s colleagues, with Nico Williams at the head, they have baptized the Barça footballer with a new nickname that is directly related to the setback he suffered in Pamplona.
“Come on, Pter Cech!”
In the last session, before heading to Georgia, the Athletic footballer wore a ‘Go Pro’ to record in first person all the details of the training. It is appreciated how some of the international footballers mock the Barça footballer when he has to steal the ball in the round. “Let’s go Pter Cech!”, they shout at the Andalusian.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal goalkeeper wore a helmet very similar to the one worn by Gavi. The Czech suffered a much more serious setback, as he suffered a skull injury as a result of a heavy collision with a Reading footballer. An injury that led to the goalkeeper wearing this protection until the last day of his career.
