A big decision from Flick for the clash between Celta Vigo and Barça?

This evening, FC Barcelona will have to manage a complicated trip to the pitch of Celta Vigo since it is a field which is not very successful for them and especially because they will have to do without Lamine Yamal, absent from the starting eleven during the two defeats of the club culé this season in the league. Despite everything, this trip to Galician lands will also be the scene of a very happy event since Sport announces that Gavi will be the starter for this meeting. 369 days after his serious injury against Georgia, the Spanish international should be able to start a match.

It must be said that Barça was very careful with its young midfielder, not wanting to rush his return and wait at least a year before being able to integrate him into a new starting eleven. His return has therefore come gradually, he who has each time been content with a few ends of matches in recent weeks.

Gavi holder 369 days later?

A progressive plan will always be put in place and the Barcelona number 6 will obviously not play the entire match this Saturday. A start against Brest does not seem to be the trend but another next week against Las Palmas would be more realistic.

One thing is certain, it was an enthusiastic Hansi Flick who spoke about him yesterday at a press conference: “He is ready to start the matches now. When I ask Gavi, he tells me he can play in all positions. This is not a problem for me. I will be the best in every position! And that’s a good answer,” he said. It remains to be seen whether his tenure will be confirmed.
