Gavi Returns to Barcelona Squad for Sevilla Clash

Significant Comeback

Gavi is set to make his return to the squad for Barcelona’s match against Sevilla this Sunday. This marks his first inclusion in the lineup in over six months. The young midfielder has been recovering from arthroscopic surgery he underwent in late September due to a meniscus injury sustained back in August.

Recent Activity

The midfielder from Sevilla has only participated in the opening two matches of the current season against Mallorca and Levante. Although he accompanied the team to Newcastle last Tuesday, he was not yet medically cleared to play at that time.

Critical Timing for Barcelona

Gavi’s return is particularly timely as Barcelona is in the midst of crucial battles for both La Liga and the Champions League titles, with Spain’s World Cup aspirations also on the horizon.

Previous Comeback

Previously, Gavi returned from a significant injury in October 2024, when he faced Sevilla again after recovering from a complete anterior cruciate ligament tear, along with an external meniscus injury which he suffered while playing for the Spanish national team in November 2023. On that occasion, he played for eight minutes under coach Hansi Flick.
