The absence of the academy player has been felt in midfield at Barcelona during some of the season’s big matches. Social media has reacted with excitement to the academy player’s post.
Gavi’s injury at the start of the season was a blow that FC Barcelona has not been able to overcome this season.
The player from Los Palacios, who will turn 20 this August, was crucial to Xavi’s plans this year, and his absence has been felt in midfield, which has lacked his grit and ball-handling skills in some of the season’s big matches.
Since the fateful Spain vs. Georgia match on November 19, in which Gavi suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and an associated injury to the lateral meniscus, the academy player has been working tirelessly to return as strong as possible next season.
But Barca is not setting any timelines to avoid putting more pressure on the player, who, by the way, will also miss the Euros.
In fact, the club’s own accounts have been building hype about Gavi’s recovery with multimedia content covering the different phases of the player’s rehabilitation.
Now, with elimination from the Champions and La Liga lost, it has been the academy player himself who has drawn on his love for the club to bring joy to Barca’s fans, who are desperate for good news.
With an image on Instagram that has quickly spread like wildfire on ‘Twitter Barca,’ showing him clutching the club crest on his chest which he shared adding two blue and red hearts, the academy player has made clear his desire to return, as he can’t hide his eagerness to wear the Barca shirt again.
Responses to the midfielder’s post came swiftly: “Warrior,” “Next season is going to be big,” “Can’t wait to come back” were some of the messages from fans reacting to the academy player’s photo, according to SPORT. The countdown is on, and fans are also eagerly awaiting Gavi’s return to the field.
