Barcelona boost as two players return to training before Girona | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have on Thursday been afforded a welcome pair of boosts on the personnel front.

This comes amid confirmation that two members of the Blaugrana’s first-team squad have linked back up with their teammates in group training.

The pair in question? Ansu Fati, and Gavi.

When it comes to the former, wide-man Ansu, since suffering a foot injury during pre-season training, had since been gradually working his way back towards full fitness.

The 21-year-old managed to join in group activities briefly earlier in the week, and this morning, is understood to have stepped things up once more.

The real headline news in Catalunya’s capital on Thursday, though, is the return of fellow youngster Gavi.

Midfielder Gavi has for his part been on the sidelines since all the way back in late-2023.

This comes after the 20-year-old suffering a torn ACL whilst lining out for Spain on the international front.

Murmurs had surfaced earlier in the week that he was now on the verge of being given the green light to rejoin group training, at least partially, after months of individualised work.

And, as per Alex Pintanel of Relevo, on Thursday, Gavi managed precisely that.

Whilst the midfielder will not be included in Barcelona’s squad to face Girona this weekend, Ansu Fati remains in with a shot at as much.
