Star midfielder expresses his desire to pair up with young national teammate for FC Barcelona
- FC Barcelona has got to a good start but is being pulled back by the club's injury issues.
- Star midfielder Pedri expresses his desire to pair up with Gavi, on his return for FC Barcelona.
FC Barcelona has got to be a brilliant start in the 2024/25 season so far, registering 4 consecutive victories in a dominating fashion. With the complete 12 points from the first few matchdays, the Blaugrana club feels unstoppable. However, the only factor holding the club back has been the club's injury woes.
While stars like De Jong, Ronald Araujo, and Gavi were already injured, the recent injuries of Fermin Lopez and the young Marc Bernal have been traumatizing for the club. In particular, the club's midfield depth looks thinner than ever, having only one backup apart from the three regular starters.

Moreover, with De Jong still far from a complete recovery, Barcelona direly needs their most passionate young star, Gavi, to rule the season ahead. Being a warrior in the defensive role and a brilliant controller of the game from the midfield position, the 20-year-old Spaniard could be the perfect fit for Flick's double-pivot system.
Recently, star Catalan midfielder Pedri expressed his incessant desire to pair up with his national young teammate in Barca's midfield. Speaking to the media, Pedri gave updates on Gavi's recovery condition, mentioning his longing to play with him. Pedri said,
""I see Gavi well; I talk to him almost every day; the worst is over. I want to play with him.""

Talking about Gavi's potential return, recent sources suggest that Gavi might return in November. Considering that he had faced an ACL injury last November, a comeback after almost 12 months could prove beneficial, being the ideal way to avoid relapses. Given the player's utility and importance at the Blaugrana club, the board won't force him to return early, giving him suitable time to integrate into the new setup.

Overall, Gavi's return possesses the power to end Barca's midfield injury concerns. The young star he has been, apart from being the greatest fanboy of the club, Gavi's presence would boost the Blaugrana club's midfield with significant energy, filled with a passion to do anything for the club. Thus, Culers expects the star prodigy player to return soon.
