Major boost: Barcelona midfielder expected to resume group training in next 10 days | OneFootball

According to a recent update from MARCA, it has come to light that Barcelona midfielder Gavi has reached an important stage in his recovery and is now back doing work on the pitch. 

The young midfielder’s return is edging closer, and there is growing optimism about his return to training in the coming weeks.

Gavi is practically recovered from his injury and is now entering the final phase of his rehabilitation. 

Over the past few days, the focus has been on gym-based work to rebuild muscle strength, combined with daily sessions alongside the club’s physiotherapy staff. 

That groundwork has now paid off, with the player returning to field training and resuming running exercises.

Now what?

This step marks a significant moment in his recovery journey and the next objective is reintegration with the group. 

However, Barcelona are determined not to rush the process. The current plan is for Gavi to begin training with his teammates in around ten days. That timeline points to either the start of next week or the following one.

Once Gavi is back training fully with the group, the conversation will shift towards competitive action. 

Pinpointing an exact return date remains difficult, but the idea is for him to be available to play again by mid-February. 

That target will depend heavily on how he adapts during his first sessions with the squad and whether there are any setbacks.

Complete caution

Notably, Hansi Flick has no intention of taking risks. Even though this injury is different from Gavi’s previous setback, he is committed to a cautious approach. 

Flick believes that ensuring a complete recovery is far more important than accelerating his return to solve short-term problems.

Gavi himself shares that mindset. With the World Cup approaching, the midfielder understands that returning at full strength is essential if he wants to be in contention.
