Gavi’s Recovery Progress

Injury Details

The 21-year-old midfielder from Andalusia has been unavailable for play since August. The Spain international underwent arthroscopic surgery at the end of September to address a meniscus tear that had been affecting him for several weeks.

Expected Return Timeline

Barça anticipated that the young talent would be out for approximately five months, a timeframe that is nearing its conclusion. Recently, he has resumed ball work during training, marking the beginning of his journey back to match fitness.

Caution from Coaching Staff

Despite Gavi’s eagerness to return to action, no definitive date for his comeback has been established. Coach Hansi Flick is taking a cautious approach, preferring not to rush the player back into the lineup. This season, Gavi has participated in only 66 minutes across two LaLiga matches against Mallorca and Levante, from the initial rounds of the campaign.
