Pedri issues update on his injury: “I will come back stronger than ever”

Barcelona’s lack of midfield control has been apparent in the last two games due to Pedri’s absence, after the Canarian picked up a thigh injury against Cadiz, which has reportedly sidelined him for over a month.

Pedri rapidly rose to prominence and has arguably become the most important player for the Catalans, with his composure, decision making and quality proving hugely differential.

Barcelona’s clash against Osasuna highlighted just how much balance Pedri brings, with his ability to always find the right pass, not force the matter and then open up spaces so pivotal.

However, with the 20-year-old reportedly out of action till mid-October, he has now provided an update on his recovery and discussed a variety of other matters.

Pedri talks recovery and miscellaneous interests

The youngster is now part of the Residency App community, which is a platform for the players and fans to interact more closely.

During a session today, one fan asked about how he s feeling in terms of physical fitness, to which Pedri replied:

“I am getting better with my injury, little by little. Injuries are part of football. I will come back stronger than ever.”

He also discussed a variety of other matters on the app, including some of his interests, other favourite sportspersons/teams and more.

Pedri also claimed he would love to visit Mexico to try their food, and mentioned that his favourite colour was blue, and that he preferred summer to winter in an informal discussion about his preferences, which also include a fondness for sushi.

He then turned focus to Gavi, his friend and midfield partner, talking about his celebration against Villarreal as a tribute to Pedri.

“He is my great friend. I really liked that he that he hit my celebration,” Pedri said, even adding that the headgear suits Gavi after he has been wearing it after suffering a gash to the ear against Osasuna.

Pedri even touched upon who his favourite basketball team was, mentioning Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors and also heaved praise on tennis superstar Carlos Alcaraz.
