7 months after his knee injury, Gavi was back on the Camp Nou pitch last week. Against Sevilla (5-2), the 21-year-old was able to regain rhythm, while getting into action in the midfield. However, the Blaugrana midfielder waited a long time to resurface in Catalonia, and this can be explained by several points. As explained Catalunya Radiohe was afraid of suffering a relapse during his convalescence. The player had moments of doubt and he did not know if he would be able to play at the highest level again with the La Liga team (leader).

Additionally, Gavi also suffered from anxiety and psychological issues during his recovery, which made him a little more feverish. This weekend, against Rayo Vallecano (2:00 p.m.), he could indeed be started by his coach, against a clearly inferior opponent. According to information from the Spanish media, the Catalan nugget would no longer be worried by these persistent pains and could thus make a major comeback.
