Pedri has been sidelined since mid-December due to a minor muscle problem diagnosed before Barcelona’s 3-2 victory over Almeria at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium.
This marks the second time this season that the promising young midfielder has faced injury setbacks, having previously missed 12 games due to a hamstring strain early in the 2023/24 La Liga campaign.
Hamstring injuries have been a recurring challenge for Pedri, resulting in the Spanish international missing a total of 67 games throughout his career.
In a live stream with Ibai Llanos, Pedri shared an update on his recent injury setback, acknowledging the absence of a specific return date.
He expressed optimism, stating, “I don’t have a date to return, but it will be soon.” Reflecting on his intense first season playing 73 games, Pedri addressed concerns about recurring injuries, emphasizing his dedication to physical and mental conditioning, including changes in diet and practicing pilates.
Dismissing lifestyle-related assumptions, he clarified, “It hurts me when some people say that my lifestyle is the cause of my injuries,” highlighting his focus on training and love for football.
Despite this, Pedri won’t be part of the squad for the upcoming La Liga match against Las Palmas at Estadio Gran Canaria.
