Barcelona midfielder Gavi has been offered hope that he can make Spain’s World Cup squad by manager Luis de la Fuente.
Gavi has successfully returned from a knee injury for Barcelona but wasn’t included in the latest Spain squad for friendlies against Serbia and Egypt.
De la Fuente has been asked about the Barcelona star and hasn’t ruled out including him in his squad for the tournament in the USA, Mexico and Canada this summer.
“We have spoken with Gavi on different occasions. I sent him a message
of joy and congratulations when he returned to play,” he told a press conference.
“He is a very special player for us. We can expect anything from Gavi in a positive way. Let’s see how it evolves, it’s a long time two months. Then we will assess in two months. Today it is premature to make this analysis. But we would all like him to be with us.”
Gavi has said he dreams of going to the World Cup but faces a nervy wait to see if he does make the cut.
