Bad news for Barça. Already deprived of many major elements, like Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski, Hansi Flick will have to do without his playing master Pedri for several weeks.

Excluded at the very end of Clasico last Sunday (Real Madrid's 2-1 victory), Pedri mostly finished the match injured. According to information disclosed by RAC1, the 22-year-old midfielder is suffering from a muscle injury.

Pedri back after the next break?

While waiting for more information on the exact nature of Pedri's injury, the Spanish press estimates the duration of the player's absence between 4 and 5 weeks. The Spanish international should therefore not play again before the next international break in November.

While his withdrawal against Elche, Sunday in La Liga, due to a suspension has already been recorded, Pedri should also miss the Blaugrana's trip to Bruges in the Champions League and that to Celta Vigo in La Liga.
