Gavi Shows Dedication by Traveling with Team to Paris Despite Injury

Gavi, despite his injury, has once again demonstrated his strong commitment to Barça. The youth academy player continues his recovery process from a serious knee injury but wanted to stand by the team in a crucial match, the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against PSG. The Andalusian is medically sidelined and will not return to play this season, yet he has remained closely connected to the dressing room, attending all matches at Montjuïc and now opting to join the team on their away trip.

Gavi’s presence is sure to foster a sense of unity among the players, given his popularity and special charisma within the squad.

Joining him on the trip are two other players still recovering from injuries, with hopes of returning just before the match: Frenkie de Jong and Pedri. While the Dutchman may have a chance to make an appearance against PSG, the Tenerife native faces greater difficulty due to a muscular injury. De Jong’s ankle sprain poses fewer risks of recurrence.

Alejandro Balde, the only player who stayed in Barcelona, opted to continue his recovery routine at the Ciutat Esportiva. However, he remains close to the team, as evidenced by his attendance at matches in Montjuïc.

Xavi Hernández’s ability to create a family atmosphere in the locker room, ensuring that all players are united, stands out as one of his greatest virtues.
