Pedri was one player who was still not participating. The coach left the youthful midfielder on the sidelines after again omitting him from the team.
Pedri Recovered
Pedri’s health, however, is improving, and all signs point to the midfield player soon making a comeback.
After being injured for a significant portion of the season thus far, David Bernabeu Reverter of Radio Estadio Noche claims that Pedri has essentially healed.
The young player suffered a hamstring injury. His absence from perhaps 10 Barcelona games has been a huge blow to the Catalans.
Pedri has ‘practically’ healed from his injury, but Barcelona is still extremely cautious.
The Blaugrana continue to worry that he could have a lengthy layoff due to a possible recurrence. Barcelona does not want to push the midfield player to return to action right away in light of this.
Fit for Clasico?
Barcelona plays Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League midweek before hosting Real Madrid in the pivotal El Clasico.
Should Pedri genuinely recuperate, but Barcelona is exercising prudence, it won’t be shocking if the midfield player misses the midweek match.
This might be done to give the Spaniard more time to properly heal before the match against Real Madrid.
Pedri may be available for the last game versus Los Blancos. Even if he might not be entirely healthy to play the whole ninety minutes, he could be there towards the end. He can help barcelona park the bus if in the lead. The youngster could help barca in midfield.
