Gavi Returns to Barcelona Group Training After Five Months Out

Barcelona are charting a careful build-up toward a medical all‑clear in roughly two to three weeks, according to reporting.

Overview

  • He took part in a portion of Friday’s session as coaches increased his workload, marking a key step in his rehabilitation.
  • The club shared footage of teammates giving him the traditional “tunnel of slaps” welcome at the Ciutat Esportiva.
  • He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in September after conservative treatment failed, followed by months of individual and ball‑work training.
  • No match return has been set, with reports indicating he could be in contention by mid‑March for the Champions League or contribute more broadly by April if progress holds.
  • He has played just 66 minutes this season, and Hansi Flick’s staff are prioritizing his long‑term health over a rushed comeback.
