He will be sidelined until 2025. Before Saints’ 3-0 victory over Preston on Tuesday night, the 22-year-old was hurt during the warm-up.
Since arriving at St Mary’s from Manchester City in June 2022 for an alleged £12 million sum, the Republic of Ireland international has been the team’s first pick. In addition to playing six times for Ireland this season, he has started 41 league games and kept 11 clean sheets.
“Gavin underwent surgery yesterday. It was just as horrible as we had anticipated since he had torn his Achilles tendon. About nine to ten months will pass while he is gone, manager Russell Martin stated on the team website.
“I spoke to him before the operation and he wasn’t in a good place but last night he was way more positive.”We’ll get behind him. We are so heartbroken for Gav. But he’ll overcome it and come out stronger as a result. It will be great to meet him on Monday.
“Over the next ten months, Gavin will experience some dark and lonely moments following a significant setback. We’ll work with him and avoid him.”
