Accordingly Mundo SportsHowever, a year and a day after this setback, he was finally able to return to the pitch against his first club’s Andalusian rivals Real Betis.

Barca head coach Hansi Flick is considering possibly giving Gavi minutes on October 20 when Sevilla travel to the Montjuic Stadium in a bid to cause an upset at the current league leaders.

Even if the number 6 only gets a brief cameo, just gracing the pitch would be a beautiful moment for the player and fans alike.

Favorite among the Culers because of his undeniable love for the club and commitment to the cause, Gavi would be guaranteed a standing ovation, boosting morale all around before Barca have three big games ahead of them, including a Champions League clash with Flick’s former employers Bayern Munich, arch-enemy Real Madrid and crosstown rival Espanyol.

It has always been said that Gavi will not be rushed back into the elite and his inclusion will be gradual.

However, judging by the training clips shared on social media, the 20-year-old is full of energy and in some cases even appears to have been told by Flick to calm down.
