"I'm very happy for Gavi. I hope he can play a few minutes tomorrow, but we have to take it step by step. He has a long career ahead of him and we need to manage him properly."
"This week we have three matches and it's a very important one. We're playing at home and we want to win all three. It won't be easy, but we have to play with confidence and conviction."
"We've played four matches in eleven days and our options for making changes were limited. On top of that, some players are coming back from injury. The team's attitude has been very good despite having had very intense matches lately."
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick confirmed that midfielder Gavi will make his return from knee surgery in the LaLiga match against Sevilla on Sunday. The 21-year-old has been sidelined since September after undergoing surgery, having played only two matches at the season's start. Flick emphasized that Gavi's minutes will be carefully managed to preserve his fitness and protect his long-term career. This return is timely for Barcelona, who are four points clear at the league summit but recently lost Frenkie de Jong to a hamstring injury. Barcelona face a demanding schedule with three matches in one week, including Champions League action against Newcastle United and a league fixture against Rayo Vallecano.
