Pedri Suffers Injury Setback
Pedri has encountered a significant injury setback during a match in Prague. The young midfielder struggled with the cold temperatures and aggressive marking from his opponent, Moses. His performance was noticeably affected, leading to unforced errors and lost duels on the field.
In a concerning turn of events, Pedri collapsed on the pitch in the 58th minute, holding the back of his right thigh. Teammates rushed to his side as the team’s physician, Dr. Ricard Pruna, signaled for a substitution. Early indicators suggest a serious injury, possibly a tear.
Injury Details and Prognosis
Medical professionals in Barcelona will conduct thorough tests to evaluate the extent of Pedri’s injury. Initial impressions are not optimistic, indicating a possible muscle rupture. If confirmed, the recovery period could extend from three to four weeks.
Impact on Team and Upcoming Matches
This latest injury poses a challenge for coach Flick, who will have to adjust his lineup without one of his key players. Pedri now joins a growing list of absentees, including:
- Gavi
- Christensen
Additionally, team member Frenkie de Jong will miss the final Champions League match against Copenhagen due to suspension after receiving a yellow card in Prague.
Fans and analysts alike await further news on Pedri’s condition, hoping for a swift recovery as the team prepares for crucial upcoming fixtures.
