He's back?

Edit: shit forgot Pedri is injured too... well hope Gavi is back earlier than Pedri

Gavi's right knee doesn't look too well...

April recovery seems distant target for someone, who's already doing light training on February 4.

As Flick said last week, they will not rush with Gavi.

April was given as time they would expect him to be able to start games and not be eased back in by I think.

I jizzed my undies a little when I saw that video.

Looks like has lost a bit of mass.. which could be good for him.

Go back to being a footballer first and foremost and not some hacky hard man act that no one in opposition is intimidated by in slightest.

Lost his way under Xavi for me.. ego got wrapped up in this 'heart beat' borderline scrappy doo act and quality on ball suffered in comparison to when first came through.

To point had role in team to scurry about/press and do little on ball.

In my opinion, he desperately needs to change his playstyle if he wants to have a long-term career. He needs to change his style of tackling and engaging duels especially. It's too risky for his knees and now with the history of 2 times heavy knee injury, he needs to stop jumping into duels and opponents.

I understand that his aggressiveness is part of his style and it will never change, but he needs to engage duels in a smarter way to win the ball from now on, because a third similar injury might be his career end.

Yeah it's the particular way in which he seems to stumble forward into challenges without control of his footing or how he will meet the impact. Just looks off.

We maybe shouldn't have our hopes very high, two injuries and being our for a long time in such a short period of time...

Part of why he is good is his aggressive nature but it would always come up with injuries. The guy doesn't have self-protection DNA. He will jump to the ball head first to block a pass, which is good and bad.

He is a very intense player. Its not easy to calm down and keep up the same level of play, especially if you were used to it for your whole life.
