Gavi returns to Barcelona squad rotation for upcoming fixtures

Barcelona midfielder Gavi is back in contention for selection following his recovery from a knee injury. The 22-year-old was named to the bench for Sunday’s 5-0 win over Valencia but did not participate, indicating his return to fitness. He had been sidelined since the opening match of the season against Elche, where he was substituted in the first half due to discomfort. His absence caused him to miss subsequent victories against Athletic Club and Rayo Vallecano. With his recovery complete, Hansi Flick now considers him an available rotation option for matches against Feyenoord and Levante. This addition to the squad provides deeper midfield options, allowing the team to manage rotation alongside players such as Fermín Lopez and Dani Olmo.
