Gavi expected to return to Barcelona training next week

Barcelona midfielder Gavi is expected to return to team training next Tuesday following a knee injury sustained during a match against Elche. While he has been working individually on the grass to manage his recovery, his progress suggests he may be ready for the upcoming match against Valencia at Mestalla.

In the immediate term, head coach Hansi Flick will prepare the squad for their La Liga fixture against Rayo Vallecano without the midfielder. Additionally, Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic has completed his second training session with the club as his future status remains unconfirmed.
