Sport<\/a>“, Gavi will return to work on the pitch tomorrow, Thursday, and is expected to take part in a significant portion of the training session alongside his team-mates.<\/p>\nIt marks important progress in his recovery, following the concern that surrounded the midfielder after the blow he took in the opening round of La Liga against Elche.<\/p>\n
Gavi took a heavy knock to his right leg during that match and then began to feel discomfort, prompting the medical staff to withdraw him as a precaution.<\/p>\n
The worry ran deep. This was the same leg in which he had suffered a serious torn anterior cruciate ligament, but later examinations ruled out anything serious and confirmed it was no more than a bruise.<\/p>\n
Since then, Gavi has followed a special training programme to shake off the pain completely.<\/p>\n
Barcelona have no intention of rushing his return. The priority is to gradually rebuild his feel for the game, and a trip with the squad to the Mestalla to face Valencia has not been ruled out.<\/p>\n
His comeback matters to coach Hansi Flick. Gavi is a key figure, both for what he offers on the pitch and for his importance in the dressing room.<\/p>\n
