Gavi has returned to training nearly 5 months after undergoing surgery on the meniscus of his right knee on September 23.
The Andalusian midfielder is progressively reintegrating into team activities under close supervision from medical and coaching staff.
The club is cautious about rushing his comeback, prioritizing his regain of playing feeling, confidence, and competitive rhythm without unnecessary risks, given the sensitivity of the knee joint.
He still needs to play a few matches before being included in the squad, but his return is near.
The international break will help Gavi as he can focus on full training weeks without immediate pressure from competition.
His objective is to be useful to the team again and enjoy playing, regaining his usual intensity and distinctive character.
Gavi is optimistic about being ready in time for the upcoming World Cup.
The coach holds great affection for the Barcelona midfielder and feels indebted to him.
