Gavi was sorely missed by Barcelona during the second half of last season. The 19-year-old all-round midfielder has been out since last November after suffering a serious knee injury while playing for Spain – tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, while also damaging his meniscus.
Injury can be very damaging for such a young player, but so far, Gavi has progressed well in his recovery. At the beginning of the summer, he started to train on the grass for the first time, which was a sight to see for the supporters of Barcelona.
As things stand, Gavi is about to return to action on the schedule, which is in November – as for MD. However, he will need to strengthen after not playing for more than a year.
Gavi's return is expected around November. @ap_angelperez

Hansi Flick will be desperate to have Gavi back, although he will be more than aware of taking things easy for the first few months of his return. Barcelona it will be a better team with the youth in its line-up, that's for sure.
