Completely torn ACL at 19. Can't get any worse than that.

There is zero chance of him coming back as the player he was and even if he comes back strong he'll be fighting with it for the rest of his career.

I think he certainly can get back from it. The biggest issue is probably to get back into the same balls to the walls mental state. The knee won't feel exactly the same and that can be quite mentally challenging when you play like Gavi and throw yourself into any situation without fear.

It would have been much worse if he based a lot of his game on acceleration for example, but he doesn't.
