One of the most detrimental moments for FC Barcelona last season was the long-term injury suffered by Gavi.
In November, during an international match with Spain, Gavi sustained a severe ACL injury that sidelined him for the entire campaign, depriving Barcelona of one of their most vital players.
After much patience and rigorous recovery training, the heartbeat of Barcelona’s midfield is edging closer to his long-awaited return.
Gavi could be back by October
Given the severity of the injury, Barcelona have been treading cautiously. Reports had suggested that Gavi might make his return by November, exactly a year after the injury.
However, the 19-year-old’s progress has heightened the possibility of an early return.
Indeed, according to SPORT, Gavi is on track with his recovery schedule, and if all continues to progress smoothly, he is expected to make his return in October.
Gavi has been diligently focusing on his recovery and has recently begun training sessions on grass, progressively ramping up the intensity as he continues to make strides.

Although he is still exercising alone, the teenage sensation is positive about his progress. In fact, Gavi appears to be in top form, having dedicated himself entirely to his recovery.
The youngster appears to have added muscle mass, clearly using his time off to put in extensive hours in the gym.
In light of these recent developments, Barcelona and Hansi Flick would be relieved, knowing they will soon benefit from Gavi’s tenacity and poise on the ball.
Although he is unlikely to immediately start games with great frequency, Gavi’s return will provide a significant boost to the squad as the season progresses.
The 2022 Golden Boy winner is renowned for his exceptional ball-winning abilities and with the team facing a shortage of that profile, Gavi’s return could not come sooner.
