The 21-year-old Andalusian midfielder has been out of action since August. The Spain international underwent arthroscopic surgery at the end of September to repair a meniscus tear he had been suffering from for several weeks.
Barça estimated that the homegrown player would be sidelined for five months, a period that is now almost over. On Monday, he was again working with the ball in training as the countdown to a playing return began.
No one, however, dares to announce a date for Gavi's return, despite his eagerness to rejoin the team.
Coach Hansi Flick, in fact, doesn't want to rush things and plans to rein in the midfielder, who this season has only played 66 minutes, spread across two LaLiga matches against Mallorca and Levante, corresponding to the first two rounds of the season.
