"Gavi has been out of action since undergoing an operation on his right knee after suffering a meniscus injury. The procedure took place on 23 September, when the midfielder underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair damage to the medial meniscus. At the time, Barcelona estimated that the recovery period would last between four and five months."
"Recent developments suggest that the 21-year-old is now very close to receiving both medical and sporting clearance to return to official matches. His rehabilitation has progressed well, and he also returned to the squad against Newcastle United, although he did not play."
"Returning in front of the home crowd could provide Gavi with a strong psychological boost after months away from competitive football. The match itself could also be a special occasion for the club, as it will take place at the Spotify Camp Nou, where the stadium is expected to welcome more than 62,000 spectators."
Gavi, Barcelona's Spanish midfielder, is nearing his return to competitive football following arthroscopic surgery on his right knee performed on September 23 to repair a medial meniscus injury. The initial recovery estimate of four to five months concluded on February 23, but Barcelona cautiously avoided rushing his comeback. Recent progress in rehabilitation has brought him close to medical and sporting clearance. Manager Hansi Flick suggested waiting until after the international break, though optimism exists for a brief appearance against Sevilla on March 15. Playing at home before over 62,000 spectators at Spotify Camp Nou during presidential elections could provide psychological and emotional benefits alongside sporting considerations.
