FC Barcelona has a 'golden signing' ready for Sevilla: who is it?

After resting last Friday due to arriving very late in the City of Barcelona following the victory against Valencia, FC Barcelona returned to training on the morning of this Saturday to prepare for the match this Sunday against Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

In the Saturday session, Hansi Flick had a significant and important new addition to the group. After a week training on the sidelines following a traumatic brain injury without loss of consciousness against Alavés, Gavi rejoined the group and trained normally, so once the medical protocol for head injuries was completed, the player will be included in the squad and is aiming for a starting position in Nervión.

A special match for Gavi

Thus, the match on February 9 will have a special significance for the Andalusian, who already knows what it is like to return against Sevilla. On October 20, 2024, in the encounter between the Sevillians and Catalans in the first round at Montjuïc, the '6' in blue and garnet returned to play after almost a year on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury.

The player from Los Palacios ended 348 days of torment after suffering a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an associated injury to the lateral meniscus in that match against the palanganas, playing 10 minutes in Barça's thrashing (5-1). Now, almost 4 months after that incident, Gavi will return to the pitch once again against the Andalusians.
