Gavi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Quiet in WC opener Gavi recorded one shot (zero on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Monday's 0-0 draw versus Cape Verde.

Impact Gavi started on the left side of the attack in Spain's World Cup opener, playing out of position due to Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal not quite being fit enough to start. Gavi was fairly ineffective, only attempting one off-target shot and failing to create a chance despite his side being on the attack for nearly the entire match. He was subbed off in the 71st minute for the aforementioned Yamal who immediately provided more dynamism to the Spain attack. With Yamal and Williams now fit, Gavi will almost certainly return to the bench for Sunday's match versus Saudi Arabia.

Receives full green light Gavi (knee) officially received the green light to play for Barcelona moving forward, the club posted.

Impact Gavi was on the bench in the last game against Newcastle but was not cleared to play at the time. That is now in the past as he has received the green light and is set to log his first minutes in months after recovering from a knee injury in Sunday's clash against Sevilla. This is a major boost for the Blaugranas as he is expected to carve out a meaningful role during the final stretch of the season.

On bench for Newcastle match Gavi (knee) is on the bench for Tuesday's UCL trip to Newcastle.

Impact Gavi could play a role in the midweek game but might not see a lot of minutes of action after being sidelined since August. He'll likely make a gradual return before recovering a starting spot from either Marc Bernal or Fermin. In any case, Gavi's comeback should give a huge boost to the team's midfield quality.

Not included in match squad Gavi (knee) was expected to make the squad for Saturday's clash against Athletic Club although he wasn't expected to play but ultimately wasn't included, the club posted.

Impact Gavi is edging closer to a comeback with the Blaugranas and was initially expected to rejoin the matchday squad, but head coach Hansi Flick made it clear the midfielder isn't ready to log minutes just yet. The idea was for Gavi to reconnect with the group, get back into the team's rhythm, and keep ramping up his match fitness through training over the next few weeks, though he ultimately didn't make the final squad list.

Impact Gavi is set to rejoin the matchday squad, although head coach Hansi Flick made it clear the midfielder isn't ready to see minutes just yet. The plan is for Gavi to reconnect with the group, get back into the team's rhythm, and keep building his match fitness through training sessions over the next few weeks. If all goes to script, he should be back to full speed soon, which would be a major boost for Barcelona, especially with Frenkie de Jong (hamstring) currently sidelined by an injury.
