Official: Gavi returns to Barcelona group training after more than five months out | OneFootball

In a major development, FC Barcelona have officially announced that midfield sensation Gavi has resumed group training with the rest of the squad after spending more than five months sidelined.

The club shared a video on social media where the midfielder was welcomed back to training by his teammates with a customary ‘tunnel of slaps’ at the Ciutat Esportiva.

The La Masia sensation suffered a knee injury very early in the season and had to undergo arthroscopic surgery in September for the same.

Given the past complications with his knee, Barça have been very careful with his recovery, not rushing things at any step.

Over the past few days, the midfielder had resumed training on the pitch initially and soon started working with the ball, gradually increasing the intensity of his sessions.

Now, he is in the final phase of his recovery and rehabilitation, as he has now been reintegrated into group training with the rest of his teammates. He is understood to have done a part of the session with the squad today.

Even though Gavi has returned to team training, his definitive comeback to playing matches will still depend on his progress in the coming days.

But the entire Barcelona squad and the coaching staff are celebrating this step as a very positive sign as they will soon recover a key member of the team.
