Barcelona will not take any risks regarding Pedri’s return to the field.
In the past the Blaugrana have been forced to do so given the Spaniard’s role in the team’s game, but now they have realized they are in such a position that they need to be more careful following his latest injury. .
Although only 20 years old, many people have considered Pedro to be Barcelona’s best player in the last two years. But, during these two years he has faced many injuries, not being able to be ready for a significant part of the season.
After suffering another muscle injury in August, theoretically his recovery should have been completed by the end of September, but the Catalan media “Sport” have said that he will be out of action until the second half of October, when Barcelona will face Athletic Bilbao.
Pedri will be sidelined for the next six matches against Royal Antwerp, Celta Vigo, Mallorca, Sevilla, Porto and Granada.
The Spanish midfielder is expected to return to training this week, having so far only done fitness exercises and trained separately from the rest of the team. It will still take time for him to be fully ready for training.
Previously, Pedri has often been compared to Andres Iniesta, who has also suffered a lot from injuries, although not at such a young age.
Barcelona hopes that Pedri will follow the path of his idol and leave his injury problems behind him.
