The fans of FC Barcelona are optimistic about Gavi's return as soon as possible. The midfielder is already working with the ball on the pitch, but the club does not contemplate any changes to its recovery plan, which is why there is still no date for his medical discharge

The return of Pablo Pérez Gavira, Gavi, seems much closer this week at FC Barcelona. The midfielder will return this Thursday to train with the rest of the squad, although with different jobs for at least three more weeks. The Andalusian began working with the ball since the beginning of July and has been taking firm steps towards his return to action, but the club remains cautious and, for the moment, his return date has not been defined.

Considering that there will be international breaks in both October and November, it is likely that the player from Los Palacios and Villafranca will be discharged within four or six weeks. However, both the board and the coaching staff are satisfied with the evolution of the 20-year-old footballer and do not plan to bring forward his return to the playing field if, clinically, there is no general consensus that supports the decision.

Gavi will respect the deadlines set by Barça doctors

And, although the risk of a new tear drops considerably after six months, cruciate ligament surgery leaves the area exposed to new complications if the established margins are not respected. Therefore, as it is an injury that also affected the right lateral meniscus, the club has set the recovery time at one year and the midfielder, despite his character and the desire to return sooner, has firmly adhered to the established plan. .

Although Gavi is seen working hard on the grass, he knows well that he should not push himself more than what is prescribed by the doctors. On November 19, the Andalusian will be out for one year. By then, there is optimism about seeing him in action, but this does not diminish caution in the Barça infirmary. The '6' may be ready to play in one or two months, depending on what the experts consider. In any case, the day-to-day evolution will determine its availability, minimizing the risk of a relapse. The problems of Ansu Fati and Pedri González have logically led the club to reinforce precautions.
