Barcelona did not have an overly productive summer transfer window, with only one senior signing (Dani Olmo) being made. The club’s inability to sell players made it impossible for anyone else to arrive, and Pablo Torre was one of those that could have departed – but ultimately, he did not.

Torre was not expected to have much of a role at Barcelona this season, with Olmo, Pedri and Fermin Lopez ahead of him in the pecking order at attacking midfield. However, Hansi Flick sees him very well, and according to Relevo, it was he that notified the club’s sporting department that the young playmaker was unavailable for departure.

Torre impressed in training over the course of pre-season, although he has managed only a handful of minutes during the opening four matches. However, with Fermin out and Pedri playing in a deeper role, there could be chances for him to make his mark at Barcelona in the coming weeks.

Gavi has been a major miss for Barcelona over the last 10 months. The 19-year-old midfielder has been out of action since suffering a serious knee injury last November, which caused damage to his ACL and meniscus.

Gavi has been expected to return to action in November, although no exact return date has been set by Barcelona officials as they want to apply no pressure. However, now it appears that he will be back much sooner.

According to MD, Gavi is set to return to group training on Thursday. He would not do so on a full-time basis, with the idea being that he will gradually build up his sharpness because making a return to action in the coming weeks.

It would be brilliant news for Barcelona if Gavi were to be back ahead of schedule, given their shortage of midfielders at the moment. However, it is imperative that he is not rushed back – patience must be afforded.
