Spain & Barça midfielder Gavi fit to face Scotland despite reports of injury
Gavi left Spain training early on Tuesday but it was just precautionary after a heavy workload
Barcelona are experiencing a real injury crisis after the knocks suffered by Jules Koundé and Lamine Yamal in the last league game against Granada.
These physical mishaps are in addition to the absences of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong.
The infirmary is full and the coaching staff and the club's medical services are looking at this international break with a certain amount of fear.
That's why any news coming from the various national teams in which the club has its players is sowing uncertainty.
That's what happened on Tuesday with the Spanish national team's training session, which Gavi ended a little early. The Barça midfielder retired to the changing rooms a few minutes before the end of the session along with Athletic striker Nico Williams, sparking all kinds of speculation.
Some reports quickly pointed to physical discomfort and that his participation in Thursday's Euro 2024 qualifier against Scotland would be pending evolution.
SPORT, however, have been able to confirm that Gavi will have no problem being ready for Luis de la Fuente. It is true that Gavi is carrying some minor discomfort without importance, a product of the little rest time since the last matchday.
It is worth remembering that Barça closed the ninth round of La Liga at Los Cármenes on Sunday night, so the Barça players have had less time to recover than the rest.
In fact, Gavi did not take part in Monday's training session. The midfielder was in the hands of the physiotherapists, a common practice on the days after official matches at all clubs.
The first-choice players usually have a recovery day. And that is what Gavi did. This Tuesday, he returned to training and completed the whole session with the group except for the last few minutes, but he is in perfect condition to start against Scotland.
