Barcelona is cautiously determining the return date for its player Gavi after his serious knee injury, which he sustained last August, leading to surgery and his absence from the field since then.

Recently, Gavi began individual training on the field and is on the verge of returning to play. According to the Spanish newspaper 'Marca', he is expected to join the team roster within the next two weeks.

However, it is unlikely that Gavi will participate in the upcoming matches against Villarreal in La Liga and Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, due to the high level of competition in these matches.

After that, Barcelona faces Athletic Bilbao away at San Mames, and will then host either Newcastle United or Paris Saint-Germain away in the Champions League. The La Liga match against Sevilla on March 15 is expected to be the most suitable for Gavi's return to play after a six-month absence.

Barcelona coach Hans Flick plans to gradually involve Gavi in the upcoming matches after his long absence, to ensure a safe and complete return to the team's level.

It is worth noting that the 21-year-old midfielder participated in only two matches with Barcelona before his injury, during which he managed to create one goal.
