Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick confirmed that midfielder Gavi will travel with the team for upcoming La Liga and Champions League matches against Athletic Bilbao and Newcastle United. However, Gavi will not be included in the matchday squad and is unlikely to see any game time.
Flick explained that Gavi is still recovering from a serious knee injury and isn’t yet ready for competitive minutes. The player will train with the main group to slowly reintegrate into the team's dynamics.
The plan involves a gradual return to full training and match inclusion after the international break, minimizing any risk of setbacks. Barcelona is prioritizing Gavi’s health and taking a cautious approach to his comeback.
Therefore, while traveling with the squad marks progress, it reflects a careful strategy to ensure Gavi’s full recovery over the coming months.
