The big news this Thursday morning in the Barcelona was the Gavi reappears in the training of Hansi Film. He had already been exercising on his own and playing ball for some time, but for the first time in almost 10 months, he could be seen with the rest of his colleagues during a session in which he impressed even the coach himself with his physical tone. However, the previous These forced recoveries were synonymous with relapse in the Barça team in recent years.
Examples like that of Pedri either Ansu Fatiwho are suffering from injury after injury, show that it is not positive to take risks with young players who are moving through the stages so quickly at an age where taking care of one’s physique is crucial for the rest of one’s career. It is true that Gavi was injured on November 19, 2023, but the deadlines indicated that his recovery period could last up to a year.
However, this Thursday he went to train with all the players of the first team culé and Barcelona hopes that the Sevillian can return to the playing fields in October, less than 11 months after being injured. Gavi, 20, He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. and also suffered a lateral meniscus injury in a fateful match between Spain and Georgia in qualifying for a European Cup which ended up being lost.
Everyone would like the same thing not to happen to Gavi, but the reality is this: In his teammates like Pedri or Ansu Fati, he can see the reflection of a hasty return to the ring that brings new physical problems. So much so that in the case of the striker, he has not yet been able to return to Flick’s orders and Barça has not even been able to sell him this summer due to his persistent injuries.

On an emotional level, We could see a very happy Gavi who received great applause from his teammates, who then performed the traditional collejas room offered to the newcomer. In this case, it is not a signing, but Barcelona perhaps feels as if it were, since the one from Los Palacios is a pure vitamin for its midfield.
And Gavi is counting down the days until he wears shorts again. In his last individual sessions he was seen sprinting forwards and laterally, while this Thursday he already trained at high intensity, leaving Flick quite surprised.
Your agent, Ivan de la Peñaplayed a key role in this accelerated recovery process due to his extensive experience with cruciate injuries and what is clear from Barcelona is that the club’s medical services and he agreed that his return would take place when the player was 100%.
“When it’s on the grass it’s on fire. We will give him the time he needs and I hope he can spend 10 or 15 years at the club. We have to take care of him. We know what he can bring,” Flick said on the day of his presentation. At Barça, even if there is no sporting necessity at the moment, the idea is to be careful with Gavi, although with images like those of this Thursday his return does not seem very far away.
