Gavi is finally approaching the end of a challenging recovery period after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee over four months ago.

The young midfielder initially suffered the injury in late August and first attempted a conservative treatment path before deciding on surgery to suture the internal meniscus.

At the time of the operation, Barcelona officials estimated a recovery timeline of four to five months, a window that is now drawing to a close.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the 21-year-old is making significant progress, as evidenced by a recent social media update showing him in training gear alongside teammate Pedri at the Ciutat Esportiva.

Manager Hansi Flick and his staff expect Gavi to rejoin the main group shortly, marking the final stage before he receives full medical clearance.

While the coaching staff is being careful not to rush his return, the five-month recovery mark falls on February 23, suggesting he could be available for selection toward the end of this month.

Flick intends to handle Gavi’s reintroduction to the squad with extreme caution to avoid any setbacks.

This patient approach mirrors how the manager has managed other returning players this season, ensuring that the La Masia graduate is at peak fitness before competing in high-intensity matches again.
