Gavi taken to hospital for check after double whack to head

Gavi taken to hospital for check after double whack to head

The Barcelona midfielder was hit in the face with the ball and the head with Bellerin's leg

It looks like what happened to Gavi will just be a scare. Barcelona have announced that the midfield “was taken to a hospital centre following the protocol after the blow he suffered during today’s game”. 

Gavi was hit in the face with the ball and then Hector Bellerin’s leg during the 1-0 home defeat by Real Betis.

The player was visibly dizzy and Xavi and the medical team did not take any risks, subbing him off for Riqui Puig.

Gavi is being looked at in hospital now to rule out any injury.
