Gavi in contention to make first start of season for Barcelona against Celta Vigo

Barcelona midfielder is reportedly “in contention” to start the team’s next game against Celta Vigo in La Liga on Saturday.

Gavi has successfully made his comeback from a serious knee injury but has only made substitute appearances so far.

RAC1 are now reporting that Gavi is “on the verge” of starting again for Barcelona and could even make the XI at Balaidos, although if he does he won’t play 90 minutes.

Hansi Flick does have some selection decisions to make for the game. He’s without Lamine Yamal due to injury but is expected to have Robert Lewandowski available.
