FC Barcelona’s Star Midfielder Sidelined with Thigh Injury

In a significant setback, FC Barcelona has officially announced that Pedri has suffered a thigh injury during today’s training session.

According to the club’s statement, Pedri has sustained a right rectus anterior thigh injury, forcing him to be sidelined. The duration of his absence will depend on his recovery progress.

In a related development, journalist Toni Juanmarti has reported that the 20-year-old midfield sensation may be sidelined for an extended period, posing a considerable concern for the Blaugrana.

Pedri holds a pivotal role within Xavi Hernandez’s Barcelona squad and was instrumental in securing the club’s first victory of the season against Cadiz, contributing a goal to the win.

The Spanish international has evolved into the heartbeat of the Barcelona team, and his absence is poised to be a substantial setback for the Blaugrana.

According to Juanmarti’s latest update, Pedri may be facing an absence of over a month, potentially making his return to action uncertain until the end of September, possibly against Mallorca, or early October, potentially against Sevilla.

With Ronald Araujo already sidelined due to injury, Pedri’s absence adds to Barcelona’s disappointment, as he is another crucial player sidelined due to injury.

Despite Pedri’s efforts to improve his physical condition during the off-season and put past injury issues behind him, he has unfortunately suffered another setback just a few weeks into the season. Consequently, it is improbable that Barcelona will rush his recovery or risk his early return to the field.
