FC Barcelona midfielder Gavi has been recovering from a leg injury sustained during a match against Elche. Initial reports indicated he was working individually on the grass to prepare for a return to team training.

Subsequent medical tests confirmed the injury was limited to a bruise on his right leg, ruling out serious damage to the area where he previously suffered a major anterior cruciate ligament tear. Following an individual recovery programme, Gavi is expected to return to on-pitch training, with his availability for the upcoming match against Valencia at Mestalla depending on his progress in group sessions.

Gavi has since returned to collective training ahead of the La Liga match against Valencia CF. While the club is managing his return gradually, his reintegration into group sessions provides a boost to the squad alongside new signing Gabriel Jesus, who has completed his first training sessions with the team.
