Barcelona Golden Boy working hard on recovery after serious injury

Gavi had to bid adieu to the season when he picked up a devastating knock in November. Diagnostics carried out after the injury painted a horrifying truth, as the midfielder had completely torn his ACL.

The injury effectively ruled Gavi out for the remainder of the campaign, meaning the youngster will also not be a part of the upcoming European Championship and Olympics 2024.

There is no official timeline for Gavi’s return either, but the midfielder is working hard on his recovery and is keen on returning to the pitch as soon as possible.

Gavi shares an update on his recovery

While his fellow La Masia graduates like Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal immerse themselves in international footballing action, Barcelona took to Instagram to share an update on Gavi’s recovery.

The club shared an image of Gavi exercising on the beach, away from Barcelona’s facilities. It appears the midfielder is exercising with the aim of improving the functionality of his lower body.

A closer look at the picture would clearly reveal the scar on his right knee. But it is evident that Gavi is determined to move on from this setback and stage a return to the pitch.

When will Gavi return to action?

As mentioned earlier, there is no official timeline given by FC Barcelona, as far as Gavi’s injury is concerned.

But there are rough estimates he could return to action at the beginning of next season. Barcelona, though, are not expected to take any risks with their star talent.

Given what happened with Pedri recently, Barcelona team doctors would want to make sure Gavi is fully fit before he is given a medical clearance.
