Gavi was a key player for both Luis Enrique and De la Fuente on the Spain squad before suffering a terrible ACL injury in November 2023.

A new ordeal. But he emerged from it stronger than before. Since his comeback from injury, Gavi has reestablished himself as a constant fixture in Flick’s Barcelona, playing an important part in the season’s last leg.
With key players like Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha out, the 21-year-old La Masia graduate has stepped up and produced significantly in recent weeks.
After re-establishing himself as a vital member of Flick’s Barcelona, Gavi is poised to be named to Spain’s World Cup team.
And he will not be the only player from Barcelona’s dressing room to be called up. Joan Garcia is also anticipated to be selected, while regulars in the La Roja lineup include Pau Cubarsi, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres, and Lamine Yamal.
