Barcelona midfielder Pedri has told fans that he wants to return to action as soon as possible, although he declined to give a return date for his recovery from the injury.
The Spanish international suffered a new muscle injury in Barcelona’s La Liga clash against Athletic Club earlier in March, and he has missed a couple of games since then. While he is expected to be out for more than a month, Pedri could still feature for the Blaugrana before the end of the season without any specific date, although the player is anxious and eager to get back.
“As soon as possible but without specifying a specific date or match. I want to be at my best to enjoy the most important part of the season with my teammates, because the upcoming matches are very nice. At the moment, everything is going well. Apart from my recovery and gym work, I am very careful with my diet, removing things that did not make me feel good, and I do Pilates as well as work in a hyperbaric chamber.” Pedri said.
It has been an injury-ravaged season for the 21-year-old, who suffered a hamstring problem early in the season between August and November last year, limiting him to just 24 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona.
The injury has also made Pedri miss Spain’s March international fixtures, and it could also be a disadvantage for him, especially ahead of Euro 2024. Spain will play Colombia in a friendly match on Friday before facing Brazil on Tuesday night.
Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal are some of Pedri’s teammates who made Spain’s squad for the March international break.
Goalkeepers: Unai Simon, David Raya, Remiro.
Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Navas, Pedro Porro, Aymeric Laporte, Robin Le Normand, Vivian, Pau Cubarsí, Jose Gayà, Alex Grimaldo.
Midfielders: Rodri, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Fabian Ruiz, Alex Baena, Oihan Sancet.
