Last weekend, during the first Clasico of the season, FC Barcelona lost by a short header against Real Madrid (1-2). Despite the presence of Ilkay Gündogan and Gavi in the midfield, Barça’s midfielders were unable to consolidate their domination at the end of normal time. In Catalonia, it is estimated that the numerous absences during this summit clash counting for the 11th day of La Liga weighed heavily in the balance. Besides Frenkie de Jong, Pedri was also missed by his partners.
Victim of an injury to his right thigh contracted in training this summer, the FC Barcelona midfielder has been sidelined for almost two months. But according to the information published by A.S. this Wednesday morning, the return of the Spanish prodigy becomes clearer. Indeed, the native of Tegueste should appear in the group which will travel to San Sebastián to challenge Real Sociedad this Saturday. Since his arrival in Catalonia from UD Las Palmas in 2020, the 20-year-old has missed nearly 68 matches with his team due to repeated physical problems.
