FC Barcelona midfielder Gavi has made a long-awaited return to training with the first team under coach Hansi Flick. The young talent had been sidelined due to an ACL injury sustained while playing for Spain in a Euro 2024 qualifier.
Barcelona shared a video on their social media platforms showing Gavi rejoining his teammates at the Joan Gamper CT, signaling a positive step in his recovery process.
Gavi's absence during the previous season contributed to Barcelona finishing without any trophies. However, the team has started the new season strongly, currently sitting at the top of La Liga with a perfect record after four games.
Former coach Xavi Hernandez had praised Gavi as an indispensable player, describing him as the 'heart with legs' of the midfield. Flick has expressed his excitement about Gavi's return, emphasizing the player's importance to the team.
Another promising talent from Barcelona's youth academy, Ansu Fati, has also returned to training and is expected to feature in the upcoming match against Girona. However, Gavi is still recovering from his injury and is unlikely to see playing time in the immediate future.
Flick has emphasized the need to handle Gavi's return carefully, aiming for a gradual reintegration into the team. The coach envisions a long-term future for Gavi at Barcelona, highlighting the player's potential impact on the team.
As Gavi continues his rehabilitation, fans eagerly anticipate his eventual return to the pitch, with hopes that he will once again showcase his talent and contribute to Barcelona's success.
