It looks like Hansi Flick will have a significantly improved Barcelona team when La Liga resumes from October 18-20.
The team currently leads the league, three points ahead of Real Madrid, and will face Sevilla on Sunday, October 20.
As reported by Spanish outlet SPORT, both 20-year-old Gavi and his teammate Fermin Lopez are expected to return from injuries to play against the 12th placed team.
Injury Details for Gavi and Fermin Lopez
Gavi has been sidelined for quite a while since suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury last year.
In contrast, Lopez’s absence has been brief; he had to leave training early during Spain Under-21 qualifiers in September due to a hamstring issue.
Update on Dani Olmo’s Injury Status
According to Marca, winger Dani Olmo may also be fit to play against Sevilla, adding depth to Flick’s midfield options.
Olmo has also been recovering from a hamstring injury similar to Lopez’s.
Ongoing Injuries at Barcelona
This positive news comes on the heels of Frenkie de Jong’s return, bringing Barcelona closer to having a fully functional midfield.
However, players like Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal are still recovering from injuries.
