Hansi Flick pleased as Gavi returns after six-month ACL lay-off

Hansi Flick is delighted as Gavi returns to Barcelona’s squad after a gruelling six-month ACL injury. The Spaniard earned the medical green light ahead of schedule and is set to feature in Sunday’s La Liga clash against Sevilla, providing a massive boost to the leaders.

After months of recovery, Barcelona confirmed his return on their official website. Before the injury he had only featured against Mallorca and Levante last August; the club noted that "The midfielder is now available for selection for Hansi Flick once again...

an appearance on the pitch would see him back playing after 205 days out." Flick said he was pleased and that the player would be eased back into competition: "Did we announce it already? He has the medical discharge, I’m happy. I hope he can play some minutes.
