Barcelona midfielder Garvey underwent knee meniscus suture surgery, which sports medicine expert Jodi Suros believes will help extend Garvey's career.

had previously predicted that Garvey might only have to be absent for 5 weeks, but Garvey will be absent for 4 to 5 months after undergoing surgery. Jodi Suros said: "Garvey underwent knee arthroscopy and found that the best option during the operation is to suture the meniscus. Because the player is still young, this is an option that must be considered. Because if we can save his meniscus, in the long run, his knee will last longer and the player's career will be longer."

Jodi Suros continued: "The other option is to directly remove the meniscus, that is, remove the injured meniscus." If this happens, Gavey's recovery time after this surgery will be shorter and not that long. But this also means that Garvey's knee may be affected more in the future.

Finally, Jody Suros said: "When you have a meniscus suture surgery, since the meniscus is a tissue with very little blood supply, it will take longer rest and recovery time, which changes the previously predicted recovery time. Although you want to recover as soon as possible, this (supporting meniscus) is the best choice given the player's future."
