Barca midfielder Gavi back in team training ahead of Osasuna

Good news for Barcelona as Gavi is back ahead of Saturday's clash against Osasuna in La Liga. The midfielder has missed out on the last two outings due to a fever, but has seemingly recovered as he joined the squad for Friday morning's training session.

Gavi's return comes at a crucial time for the 'Blaugrana', who face Benfica in the second leg of the Champions League last 16 before visiting the Spanish capital to take on Atletico Madrid with the chance of extending their lead at the top of the standings.

Fortunately for Barca head coach Hansi Flick, there are no new injury concerns. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen and Marc Bernal remain the only absences and will continue their spells on the sidelines due to long-term injuries.

The team also took the occasion to greet Ronald Araujo with a tunnel of slaps before training in honour of his 26th birthday. The Uruguayan celebrated his birthday for the eighth consecutive year in Catalonia, joining Barca's youth ranks in 2018 from Boston River.
