Gavi says criticism is not a concern as Spain give midfielder extra rest

Published on: 23 September 2026

Barcelona midfielder Gavi says criticism aimed at him does not particularly concern him after he was left out of Spain’s squad for their September Nations League matches.

The 22-year-old was not selected because Spain decided he should be given additional rest following a series of injuries.

Gavi became a world champion with Spain in the summer, although he featured in only two matches during the World Cup.
