#GAVI

The coaching staff noticed positive progress in Gavi’s recovery during training.

Why the long delay? Since Gavi already had a complete ligament tear in the same knee in 2023, any new injury (like this meniscus one) is treated with a ‘zero risk’ approach. Barcelona wants to ensure that his muscles are 100% balanced to prevent a third relapse.

Although he is already on the field, the expectation is that he will receive the official medical clearance in the coming days, and could be called up to get a few minutes on the pitch even before mid-March.

He is taking part in parts of the ball training sessions and increasing the intensity. However, coach Hansi Flick has already stated that he will not rush his return to official matches.

Na última sexta-feira (20 de fevereiro), ele voltou a treinar com o grupo pela primeira vez em cinco meses. Foi recebido pelos colegas com o tradicional “túnel de aplausos”.
