Injured Barcelona midfielder targeting February return as recovery progresses well | Barca Universal

"As relayed in a recent report by Mundo Deportivo, Gavi is now feeling pretty strong and much better on a physical level than he has in recent months. His recovery, thus, is indeed going well. The report also adds that the player wants to make a comeback to the field in the month of February, which comes as a massive boost to Barcelona's dynamics. Notably, however, that will likely only be his return to training and not to matches."

""I'm meeting the deadlines they've set for me, and so far, everything is going very well. In theory, in five months I should be ready to play," he said, remaining cautious."

"Gavi's last appearance for Barcelona came against Levante in late August and he has thus been out for over three months now. He is desperate for a comeback, but Barcelona will hope to get it right with no further setbacks this time around."

Gavi underwent a re-surgery on the same knee after an ACL injury and has missed most of the season. Gavi is now feeling much stronger and physically improved compared with recent months, and his recovery is progressing well. Gavi aims to return to training in February, although that return will likely not include immediate match action. The projection places potential match readiness at around five months, near the end of the season, but the final decision will rest with the manager, the player, and the medical staff. Gavi last played against Levante in late August and has been sidelined for over three months.
