Since debuting for the senior Barcelona team in the 2021/22 season, prodigy star Gavi has been the heart and soul of FC Barcelona's midfield. In the club's most difficult phases, emerged the passionate star, who made everyone a fan of his dedication to the Blaugrana club. Going on to play 47 games in his debut season and 49 games in the next one for FC Barcelona, Gavi stood crucial in helping them win the La Liga season when nobody had expected it.
20-year-old midfield prodigy training exceptionally to recover soon for FC Barcelona
In fact, being on the back of two superb seasons with the club, the youngster had already become a regular starter for the Barcelona setup. However, his ACL injury on Spain's national duty in the 2023/24 campaign proved crucial, not only for the player himself but for FC Barcelona's season ahead. Only at 19 years of age had he established himself as one of the best pivots in Europe, but this injury suspension halted his flourishing career.
So far this season, FC Barcelona has been excellent overall; however, the club has been operating on bare minimum midfield options. With star midfielder Pedri and prodigy ones Marc Casado and Pablo Torre, and Eric Garcia being converted into a pivot, Hansi Flick has played the season so far, mostly with these options only. Given the club's extremely important games after the October international break, they definitely want their injured stars to return, and the latest injury recovery updates on Gavi find very well in the cause.
While there had been updates regarding Gavi's spectacular recovery, with Hansi Flick extremely excited about the player's return, recent updates sound much more positive on his potential return. As per reports from Mundo Deportivo, Barca boss Flick is considering calling up Gavi for FC Barcelona's next match against Sevilla.
Although previous reports had it clear that the player stands significant chances to return this month, Gavi's return after the international break could prove excellent for Barca. Moreover, what has been the most impressive aspect is that the player, known for putting his all for the Blaugrana club, has been training so spectacularly that even Hansi Flick has even jokingly told him to stop training so hard.
With ace midfielder de Jong already nearing his full fitness levels, the return of Gavi could be the best thing the club could have asked for. Even imagining the duo of the passionate Barcelona star with German mastermind Hansi Flick looks enough; the two planning to setup the club's midfield could feel enough for European football. Barca fans would hope that the 20-year-old prodigy returns against Sevilla, being fully fit against Bayern and Real Madrid next.
