Pedri injured: Barca star could be out for over a month
Bad news for Barça. Pedri picked up an injury on Thursday morning and could be out for several weeks.
The player has injured the quadriceps area in which he had already had problems before and which he had been working on for some time to protect and prevent injuries in that area.
The club has confirmed Pedri's injury to the thigh of his right leg.
It is estimated that the player could be out for more than a month and could be out for more than six weeks, during which time Xavi will not be able to count on him in midfield.
Barça suffered greatly in the second half of last season because of the Canary Islander's absence. He was unavailable for the Europa League matches and the important league games against Real Madrid and Atlético among others.
Now, Xavi will have to make do with what he has and make up for the Canary Islander's absence with the possibilities offered by the squad. Gündogan will be essential in the coming games and Gavi will regain all the prominence he had lost.
The injury will also leave the player out of Luis de la Fuente's call-up list, which will be made public on 1 September.
