The news that Pedri suffered a thigh injury in today’s practice comes as potentially devastating news for FC Barcelona, which has confirmed the news.
“Pedri sustained an injury to the right rectus anterior thigh,” the doctor said. According to the official statement released by the club, “He is out, and his progression will determine whether or not he is available.”
Following up on that, journalist Toni Juanmarti has stated that the midfield prodigy, who is only 20 years old, could be out for several weeks, which is not good news for the Blaugrana.
Pedri is one of the most essential players for Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona. He scored a goal for the club during their match against Cadiz last week, which was their first win of the season. Pedri was a significant factor in the club’s first win of the season.
The Spain international has developed into the team’s beating heart, and the Blaugrana will suffer a significant setback if he is not available to play for them in the upcoming match.
According to the latest information provided by Juanmarti, Pedri may have to miss more than a month of action. This would put his potential return date against Mallorca in the final week of September or against Sevilla at the beginning of October.
The absence of another key player, Pedri, is an unfortunate turn of events for the Blaugrana, especially considering that an injury has already forced them to part ways with Ronald Araujo.
The young player, who is now 20 years old, has a history of injury issues, but he had put in a lot of hard work over the off-season to improve his physical condition in order to put his fitness issues in the past.
However, just a few weeks into the season, he suffered another injury, and as a result, it is highly doubtful that Barcelona will take any risks with his recovery and possible return to action.
