Barcelona is preparing for a tough La Liga match tomorrow against its Catalan neighbor, Girona, in the 29th round of the league. Barcelona leads the league with 63 points, three points ahead of its traditional rival, Real Madrid.

Press reports revealed that German coach Hansi Flick has selected him for Barcelona’s midfield in the upcoming matches following the injury of Spaniard Dani Olmo.

Olmo will be out for three weeks due to the injury he sustained during the last match against Osasuna. Medical tests revealed a right adductor injury.

Reports indicated that Pablo Gavi had not hoped for his opportunity to come at the expense of his teammate Dani Olmo’s injury, but this circumstance may open the door for him to return to the starting lineup.

According to the Spanish newspaper ‘‘AS‘‘, the Spaniard is close to reaching his peak physical form in April after recovering from the knee injury that kept him out for a long period before returning on October 20. The newspaper confirmed that his good relationship with Hansi Flick enhances his chances, especially since the German coach relies on the playmaker to execute the initial pressure rather than Lewandowski. If Gavi can avoid injury, he could be one of Barcelona’s standout players in April.
