Gavi ready to face Bayern after Athletic panic

Gavi trained ahead of the game on Tuesday and is ready to play on Wednesday

Barcelona midfielder Gavi will be fit to play against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The youngster received a knee from Dani García during Barça-Athletic on Sunday and had to be replaced in the first half. The fans at Camp Nou feared the worst, but test showed there was no injury and he has made a quick return to training.

Gavi underwent tests after the game and also on Monday before the recovery session, but it was on Tuesday when he returned to the pitches of the Ciutat Esportiva to train with the rest of his teammates before the visit of the Bavarian team this week.

The player was left lying on the field of play after a tough tackle by Garcia that was not even considered a foul by referee Martínez Munuera.

Shortly after, he had to be replaced by Kessie. Despite the pain in the moment, Gavi has appeared smiling at the training ground confirming that he is fully recovered and that if Xavi needs him he will be able to help the team in the big game in the Champions League.
