By Gavi has been included in Barcelona’s squad ahead of their match on Sunday after receiving medical clearance to return to action. Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick confirmed the development, expressing optimism that the midfielder could feature for the team.
“He’s finally got the green light. We hope Gavi can eventually play some minutes tomorrow,” Flick said while speaking ahead of the game.
The 20-year-old Spain international has been sidelined for several months while recovering from a serious knee injury sustained during international duty with Spain national football team in late 2023.
His return provides a major boost for Barcelona as the Catalan club continues its push in domestic and European competitions, with Gavi widely regarded as one of the team’s most energetic and influential midfielders.
Barcelona’s medical staff had been closely monitoring his recovery in recent weeks before granting him clearance to rejoin the matchday squad. The club will, however, manage his minutes carefully as he gradually regains full match fitness.
