Gavi Receives Green Light for Barcelona Return Against Sevilla
Barcelona midfielder Gavi has received official medical clearance to participate in matches, making him available to German coach Hansi Flick for the first time since last August.
This development paves the way for the 21-year-old's potential appearance in the highly anticipated clash against Sevilla this Sunday (15:15 GMT+1), following a seven-month absence due to injury.
The Spanish international had suffered a complex meniscus injury in his knee, which required surgical intervention after initial conservative treatment attempts in August failed to yield the desired results.
The player began group training with his teammates in recent weeks, demonstrating a positive response to the rehabilitation program he underwent throughout his months-long absence.
In this context, Mundo Deportivo reported that the club's medical staff believes Gavi is ready to return. The final decision now rests with Flick, who will determine whether to utilize him for a few minutes against Sevilla to ensure gradual integration or to wait a few more days.
It is worth noting that Gavi was on the bench for yesterday's match against Newcastle United, but at that time, he did not have medical clearance to play.
