Barcelona midfielder Gavi is passed fit for the Catalan outfit's La Liga clash with Sevilla on Sunday night.

Gavi has been passed fit for Barcelona's La Liga clash with Sevilla on Sunday night.

The midfielder suffered a head injury during his team's 1-0 win over Alaves in Spain's top flight last weekend, and he was not available for Thursday's Copa del Rey clash against Valencia, which the Catalan giants won 5-0.

There had been some doubt over his return to action in the league this weekend, but head coach Hansi Flick confirmed during his press conference that Gavi would be back in the squad against Sevilla.

Inigo Martinez and Dani Olmo are also now fit after recent injury problems, meaning that Andreas Christensen, Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are the only Barcelona players currently unavailable for selection.

Barcelona are unbeaten in their 10 matches in all competitions this year, and they now find themselves back in the title picture, sitting third in the La Liga table, four points behind leaders Real Madrid.

"All the team is doing well. They are showing that and we are creating a lot of chances. Now we have a lot of players available and it's good to have fresh legs," Flick told reporters during his pre-match press conference.

"I am very happy. There's a good atmosphere in the dressing room and that's key. They are all battling and that's great."

Flick was also asked about Ferran Torres on Saturday, with the Spaniard scoring three times in the five-goal success over Valencia in the Copa del Rey, but he is likely to find himself back on the bench in the league this weekend.

"Ferran can play in several different positions. I am really happy with his work. He's really professional and trains really well. He has confidence and that's good for the tea," Flick told reporters.

Flick insists Fati is still in his thoughts

Flick also said that Ansu Fati is in his thoughts for potential action despite the fact that the 22-year-old has not played since January 4.

The Spain international has not featured in La Liga since the start of November, meanwhile, and he was heavily linked with a move away from the Catalan giants during the January transfer window.

However, Fati will be in the squad against Sevilla and could be involved at Estadio Ramon.

"Every player, except the injured ones, is there. We're down to 21 players and Ansu Fati is doing very well. He's improving and that's what we want. He's on the right track, but we have to see what happens tomorrow, what the options are," said the Barca boss.

Fati has a record of 29 goals and nine assists in 120 appearances for Barcelona and was once regarded as one of the outstanding young players in world football before a host of injury problems slowed his progress.
