Gavi (knee) is expected to return to the training pitch Thursday and complete a significant part of the session with his teammates, SPORT reports.
Analysis:Gavi suffered a right knee contusion after taking a heavy blow during the La Liga opener against Elche, with tests ruling out structural damage and allowing Barcelona to manage his recovery through individual work on grass. He is now set to take part in meaningful group training Thursday for the first time since the injury, representing an encouraging step toward full availability after roughly two weeks out. His progress will continue to be assessed based on how the knee responds rather than a fixed return date, although his eventual role could be more limited with Rodri now in the squad and Marc Bernal performing well in midfield, leaving Gavi more likely to serve as a depth option for coach Hansi Flick.
