With two significant trophies from the previous campaign and some high-profile additions to their roster in the summer, FC Barcelona had a lot of expectations going into this season.
But due to a number of circumstances, Xavi’s team has not been able to achieve the necessary outcomes, and as a result, they are struggling to win any hardware as the season approaches its pivotal point.
Barca News Network notes Gavi’s injury was one of these elements that significantly and drastically affected the team. On November 19, the Spaniard was hurt while serving for Spain abroad, and even the preliminary examinations indicated that he had sustained a serious injury.
The midfield player was expected to miss the remainder of the season due to an ACL tear, which was confirmed by more thorough testing. With this injury, the player has already missed 21 official games. Looking back, Xavi has suffered greatly as a result of this injury.
However, Gavi has been the subject of some encouraging news in recent weeks, with reports indicating that the midfield player is healing quickly and may even be able to play again this season.

Regardless of how the former Golden Boy feels, the journalist Achraf ben Ayad now claims that Barcelona will not take any chances with him and will not push him to return to action. As a result, his return is only expected to happen at the beginning of the following season.
With the exception of Gavi and Alejandro Balde, who is also sidelined for an extended period of time due to an injury, Xavi has returned the majority of his players and will bring back the rest, including Ferran Torres, in the coming days.
