Barcelona midfielder Gavi has offered an exciting update as he takes another step closer to making his long-awaited recovery from injury. Barcelona have been hoping he can be available again either in February or March, and he's now offered an update on social media. Gavi posted a video of himself on the training ground with the caption: "What a feeling to train with the ball after such a long time."
It's indescribable, what I'm feeling is incredible. I was talking about it with my teammates, it's spectacular. It's a dream come true. It's hard to get on the pitch because the score has to be comfortable. When they scored the third, Flick called me over and I didn't even have time to think. My day has arrived.
According to SPORT, FC Barcelona are fully aware that the club cannot afford for Barça Atlètic to spend another season in the fourth tier of Spanish football (Segunda RFEF). As such, the club consider it a priority for the team coached by Juliano Belletti to gain promotion, thereby reducing the gap to the elite. Beyond sporting considerations, there are also practical advantages, such as avoiding poor-quality pitches that carry a risk of injury.
This move is not just a routine renewal, as within the club, there is a growing belief that the 18-year-old represents a long-term investment, especially at a time when the youth setup is undergoing subtle changes. His importance has increased further following the departure of Pedro 'Dro' Fernandez, with club officials now seeing Hernandez as the ideal profile to step into that role and grow within the structure.
