Since his debut in 2021, Gavi has established himself as the biggest talent in FC Barcelona's midfield. The youngster's energy on the field resurges the entire lineup, earning the spot of the heart of the Blaugrana midfield. However, in November 2023, Gavi picked up an ACL injury, which has kept him ruled out till now, but with recent reports, things favor his comeback.

A few days ago, Marca reported Gavi has been recovering very well from his injury. The report further indicated that though his return is getting closer, the club is cautious and will take no risks or rush him. There hasn't been an exact date for his return, despite the star midfielder's desire to return as soon as possible.

As per recent sources, Gavi has joined team training and is moving closer, day by day, to a return. However, it has been certain that Flick and staff won't rush his return to the Blaugrana squad. Barca insider Fernando Polo reported that the club is urging caution with Gavi, and his participation in the recent training session with the group is just a morale boost for him and the team.

Reports indicate that despite having marked a return in group training, he is not expected to play again until after the international break in October. Considering that he was sidelined by a severe ACL injury, the club wants to give him the designated time for recovery and plan a steady transition for him in the new setup.

Analyzing from Barca's perspective, Gavi's return would be a significant positive for the club's thin squad depth. Apart from being a specialist pivot and having capabilities to play versatile roles, the 20-year-old could be the man to watch out for in Flick's double pivot system. The potential duo of him and star Catalan midfielder Pedri could prove crucial for the club's overall performance.

Overall, Barca's star midfielder Gavi is steering towards a comeback from his ACL injury. Being out for more than 10 months, Hansi Flick and staff are cautious with the player and preparing for his steady return to the Barcelona lineup.
