The FC Barcelona is smiling, and why wouldn't they be, considering the return of one of their assets who has been injured for a long time and is eagerly awaited, Pablo Gavi, is getting closer. It is worth remembering that the Andalusian is recovering from a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an associated injury to the lateral meniscus, a physical setback he suffered on November 19, 2023.
However, already in September, specifically on the 12th, he reintegrated into the training dynamics of FC Barcelona, gradually increasing the intensity of physical conditioning work, which has generated increasingly positive prospects for his full recovery and has raised the most repeated question currently in the city of Barcelona: when will Gavi receive medical clearance and be able to be called up by Barça again?
It seems that this moment is closer than expected. Although it was anticipated that the Andalusian's return would be at the end of October or early November, the enthusiastic progress that Gavi is making to demonstrate that his recovery process is complete makes it increasingly likely that he could return to Barcelona's squad for the match against Sevilla on October 20.
Gavi continues to shine in training with FC Barcelona
These impressions intensified after Gavi took part in a small match on Wednesday, as reported by 'Què t'hi jugues', at the Ciudad Deportiva Joan Gamper, which lasted between 40 and 45 minutes, and which the Andalusian completed normally, leaving very positive impressions. He stood out in great physical shape, sharing the midfield with Frenkie de Jong, and with the presence of players from Barça Atlètic and footballers who were not called up by their national teams during this October FIFA break.
Furthermore, the mentioned source suggests that Gavi's main desire is to be part of FC Barcelona's squad again and to be present in the match against Sevilla. It remains to be seen what the Catalan team decides, whether they consider his physical condition to be optimal enough to give him medical clearance, or if they prefer to continue being cautious in a situation where his return seems to be just around the corner.
