FC Barcelona have been dealt a significant setback after Pedri was forced off with a hamstring injury, with initial assessments suggesting the midfielder could be sidelined for several weeks. The news was confirmed on Wednesday morning, with Barcelona planning a detailed medical scan to determine the full extent of the damage.
According to the latest update, Pedri’s injury is not a relapse of previous muscular issues but a completely new hamstring problem. While that may offer slight relief in terms of long-term recovery, the immediate concern remains the length of his absence at a crucial stage of the season. The young man has already endured multiple injury interruptions over the past few campaigns, making this latest setback particularly frustrating for both player and club.
Pedri has been a vital part of Barcelona’s midfield structure, offering control, creativity, and intelligence that few players in Europe can match. Losing him for weeks will inevitably force Barcelona into reshuffling their midfield options across domestic and European competitions.
The injury comes at a demanding point in the calendar, with Barcelona balancing La Liga ambitions and their UEFA Champions League campaign.
