Ter Stegen Eyes Early Return, Gavi Aiming for June Training Sessions

Positive developments are on the horizon for Barcelona as Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Gavi are both making strides in their recovery processes, as reported by Relevo’s Alex Pintanel and Diario Sport’s Ferran Correas, respectively.

In a surprising turn of events, Ter Stegen’s return to group training may happen earlier than initially anticipated. According to Pintanel, the German goalkeeper could be back on the field for collective training sessions by late January or early February. This promising timeline bodes well for Ter Stegen’s availability in crucial Champions League clashes against Napoli.

Meanwhile, young midfielder Gavi is also demonstrating determination in his recovery journey. Despite the initial prognosis suggesting that he won’t return until the end of the season due to an ACL injury, Diario Sport’s Correas reports that Gavi is working hard to potentially accelerate his comeback. There’s optimism that we might witness Gavi back in training as early as June, providing a potential boost for Barcelona’s preseason preparations.

Ter Stegen and Gavi are both recovering from surgeries, with the German shot-stopper addressing the aftermath of his back surgery, while the 19-year-old midfielder underwent a procedure following his season-ending ACL injury. Barcelona fans can look forward to the potential return of these key players, bringing positive news to the squad’s overall fitness outlook.
