Surprise return to training Gavi (knee) was pictured on the training pitch following Saturday's 3-1 win against Alaves. Impact Gavi's return to the training pitch this soon was utterly unexpected, as just over two months ago, he was required to receive surgery due to a torn ACL. He was not shown running or working with the ball but was in full training attire, pushing the narrative that he was involved. The midfielder still shouldn't be expected to touch the field in a game for a while, as a return from a torn ACL after only two to three months of recovery is unheard of. However, this new development does bring hope that he could be back before the end of the season, but they still may be a long shot after such a serious injury.
