FC Barcelona are not exactly enjoying their best moment of the season, and neither are the club’s players. A recent draw against Valencia only adds to the misery of the team, who could now fall behind by quite some distance in La Liga. Barcelona definitely miss certain players and Gavi is one of them.
The youngster, aged only 19, provides the team with a sense of urgency and energy. His influence in the team was unnoticed by many while he was still healthy, but now that he suffers from an injury and is not available for selection, even the coach admits that he misses the player.
However, there is a bright light for Barcelona according to SPORT. Gavi’s family reportedly wants to spend the festive season in the city of Barcelona, so that the player can continue his recovery close to the club. Moreover, optimism continues to grow within the player’s camp about his recovery.
Having suffered an injury to his ACL and meniscus while on international duty, Gavi has had to undergo surgery. However, he continues his recovery and it seems that day by day the progression gets more positive. The player understands this and goes about each day as being one step closer to returning.
Gavi remains a fundamental part of this Barcelona team. Now, more than ever, his tenacity and relentlessness are being missed by the Catalan giants. Loss after loss is being followed by even more disappointment, and it is a path that Barça can not afford to stay on for much longer.
Other key players also missing are Inigo Martinez and Marc Andre Ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is expected to be back sometime in February as per the estimated return date for his recovery. On the other hand, the recovery of the Spanish defender is still a bit under wraps with no circulating reports.
