Pedri has had to cope with a number of injury issues in the little more than three years that he has been a part of Barcelona’s first-team system.

The 20-year-old is without a doubt one of the most crucial components in Xavi’s tactical system at Barcelona, and he has developed into one of the best young midfielders in the world. Xavi has been a major influence on the young player’s development.

The fact that the winner of the Golden Boy Award in 2021 has been sidelined by injuries on a recurrent basis, causing him to miss a considerable number of games over the course of the last couple of years, is also a source of concern.

Pedri suffered an injury for the second time during the 2023–2024 season after only a number of matches had been played. This sent alarm bells off at Barcelona.

Pedri is making good progress in his recuperation.

It was reported in late August, just after the news of Pedri’s injury broke, that the sensation in the middle of the field might be out for close to six weeks.

And Gabriel Sans of Mundo Deportivo reports that Pedri’s recovery is going well, despite the fact that he is not close to making a return to action at this point.

In order to overcome the ailment and get back to full condition, the former Las Palmas wonderkid is currently participating in physiotherapy sessions and working out in the gym.

In spite of this, Barcelona is not taking any chances with the 20-year-old player because the injury is the same one he suffered earlier this year when playing against Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League.

Come back around the end of October.Because Barcelona has decided to take a ‘zero risk’ approach to Pedri’s rehabilitation, there is little chance that the club will hurry the midfielder back into action before he is fully ready.

The plan is for the young player to make his return to action after the international break that will take place in the following month. According to some reports, the match against Athletic Club that will take place on October 22 has been penciled in as the date for him to get back to playing.

As a result, fans will have to hold their breath until they can see Pedri compete again, and they will do so while keeping their fingers crossed that his recuperation will proceed smoothly.
