Gavi came in as a substitute after a long injury layoff during Barcelona’s 5-1 over Sevilla in La Liga at home.
FC Barcelona youngster was greeted by Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente and Spanish FA president Pedro Roach.
Gavi suffered the ACL injury during the 10th and the final qualifying match for the UEFA Euro 2024 in Group A against Georgia.
Gavi has suffered a complete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, along with an associated injury to the lateral meniscus.
The 10 month ban imposed by FIGC on Sandro Tonali, for breaching betting rules, is yet to be approved by UEFA and FIFA.
On Sunday, August 27, Gavi scored as Barcelona managed to edge past Villarreal in a seven-goal thriller at the Estadio de la Ceramica.
Earlier Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez had also insisted that Gavi won’t be “happy at any other club.”
This also piles up another major problem for Barcelona, as the club continues to weather a massive financial storm.
During Barca Players Award on Monday, Pedri and Aitana Bonmati received the awards in men’s and women’s football respectively.
Last season, Gavi made a total of 47 appearances for club and country and also scored two goals.
Gavi joined Barcelona youth academy from Real Betis in 2015 and was selected in the senior team in 2021.
