Barcelona coaching staff being cautious with midfielder's reintegration despite positive progress | Barca Universal

"The 21-year-old homegrown star suffered a knee injury in late August and had to undergo arthroscopy in September after initial conservative treatment did not yield the desired result. Having worked hard on his recovery since then, the Spanish international finally resumed training with the rest of the group last week in what came as a huge development for Barcelona."

"However, the coaching staff are taking a cautious approach with his reintegration, considering the long spell he spent on the sidelines. Barça were very careful with Marc Bernal earlier in the season after he made his comeback from an ACL injury, ensuring that there are no setbacks or relapses. A similar approach is expected to be followed with Gavi."

"As already reported, there is no hurry from the staff, and the midfielder is expected to be given a full medical clearance in 2-3 weeks. But, as mentioned previously, the progress that Gavi has shown in the days since he resumed training with the group has been positive and encouraging."

FC Barcelona midfielder Gavi has resumed group training after five months away following knee surgery in September. The 21-year-old Spanish international suffered a knee injury in late August and underwent arthroscopy when conservative treatment proved ineffective. Since returning to training, Gavi has completed most sessions with his teammates and demonstrated encouraging progress. Barcelona's coaching staff are proceeding cautiously with his reintegration, similar to their approach with Marc Bernal's ACL recovery earlier in the season. Full medical clearance is expected within 2-3 weeks, though no rush is being taken given Gavi's previous serious knee injury history.
