Barcelona have been dealt a fresh blow ahead of their La Liga clash with Elche on Sunday, as Spanish midfielder Pedri picked up an injury during today’s training session 🇪🇸⚽.

According to Radio Catalunya, Pedri suffered a muscle injury due to the heavy workload he endured during the recent El Clásico against Real Madrid, where he was sent off after receiving a second yellow card. Reports indicated that the midfielder appeared fatigued in the final minutes of the match and was later examined by the medical team.

The club has yet to confirm the exact duration of Pedri’s absence, but he is under daily medical observation, with early indications suggesting he could be sidelined for up to one month 🩺😔.

The injury poses a serious problem for head coach Hansi Flick, who considers Pedri a vital part of his midfield setup. With a packed schedule of domestic and European fixtures, the loss of the young star adds to Barcelona’s ongoing injury struggles this season.

Fans will be hoping Pedri makes a swift recovery, as his creativity and energy are crucial to Barcelona’s ambitions in both La Liga and the Champions League 💪🔵🔴.
