Official: Barcelona confirm muscle injury to Pedri; ruled out for three weeks

FC Barcelona have officially announced that key midfielder Pedri has been sidelined with a muscle injury in his left leg.

“The first-team player Pedri has suffered a rupture of the distal biceps femoris in his left leg. The approximate recovery time will depend on the progress of the injury,” the statement from the club read.

Pedri felt discomfort today, after his physical exertion against Real Madrid in last Sunday’s El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu and trained away from the rest of the group.

Tests have now confirmed a muscle injury for the midfield superstar, who has started every single game for Barcelona this season across all competitions.

The statement from the club does not specify a possible return timeline for the Spanish international.

However, according to Javi Miguel of AS, the player is likely to be out for three weeks, and should be able to return after the international break in November.

This can be seen as a silver lining by Barcelona, considering initial reports suggested a possible time out for about 4-5 weeks.

Either way, Pedri, who was already suspended for the game against Elche, will also miss the matches against Club Brugge and Celta Vigo.

The target for him will be to return for the home game vs Athletic Club on 22 November, which will likely mark Barcelona’s return to the Spotify Camp Nou.
