Full excitement! Gavi returns to FC Barcelona training

Wonderful news for FC Barcelona. The Blaugrana team has received with satisfaction the news that one of their star players, Pablo Gavi, who is recovering from a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an associated injury in the lateral meniscus suffered on November 19, 2023, has participated in part of the training sessions with the group this Thursday morning under the supervision of Hansi Flick at the Johan Cruyff Stadium.

The player from Palacios y Villafranca, who has been immersed in the recovery of this tough physical setback for more than 10 months, was warmly welcomed by his teammates. As seen in material shared on the various platforms of the Catalan club, they gave him the traditional 'collejas' corridor to welcome him back to training with the team.

This news is very encouraging for Barça, as they see the full return of Pablo Gavi getting closer. During this practice session, the Andalusian was seen in excellent physical condition, performing a considerable amount of work, including sprints, jumps, and other activities with notable proficiency.

When could Gavi return to action with FC Barcelona?

Now, although he has already integrated into the dynamics of the Barcelona team, it is not expected that he will participate in the next match of FC Barcelona against Girona, scheduled for Sunday, September 15 at 4:15 p.m. It is worth noting that the club's priority is to not rush the midfielder's return to regular competition.

However, judging by his performance in these training sessions, there is a feeling in the air that the medical clearance for Pablo Gavi to return to action could be imminent. In fact, as reported in the 'AS' newspaper, if no setbacks occur, it is expected that the clearance will be granted in the next 15 days.

This would slightly advance the initial forecast for the return of the Palacios native, as various sources had suggested that it could occur between mid to late October, or even, in the most distant scenario, at the beginning of November. The goal is to allow him to reintegrate into the team gradually, without putting too much pressure on a player who, given the circumstances, likely needs time to regain his best footballing form.
