Despite the setback, the Spanish international has spent the last half-year working relentlessly on his fitness. The club announced his availability with a brief but impactful statement on their official website, confirming the news the fans had been waiting for: "The midfielder is now available for selection for Hansi Flick once again, and that means Gavi could potentially play against Sevilla, a special opponent given he is from Andalusia. An appearance on the pitch would see him back playing after 205 days out. His availability for selection is great news for the team and the fans, who will be able to enjoy a La Masia graduate who is somewhat unique given his character, passion, and intense approach for all things Barca," the club statement read.
