What injury does Pedri have? When will he return?
The Barcelona midfielder had to be substituted in the 59th minute of the match against Slavia Prague.
Pedri was not enjoying his night in Prague. The sub-zero temperatures and Moses’ tight marking were clearly affecting his game, leading to unforced losses of possession and missed duels. Unfortunately, matters soon took a turn for the worse.
In the 58th minute, the Canary Islander collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his right thigh. Several teammates rushed to his side as Dr Ricard Pruna immediately signalled for a substitution, fully aware of the seriousness of the injury.
Tests in Barcelona will determine the full extent of the Canary Islands international’s problem, but the initial impressions are not encouraging, already pointing towards a possible tear. If confirmed, and given Pedri’s history with this type of injury, his recovery could easily take three to four weeks.
