Overview
- Medical imaging confirmed a muscular lesion in Pedri’s right biceps femoris, with an estimated recovery time of about four weeks.
- Pedri suffered the injury against Slavia Prague and left around the 60–61st minute after pointing to the back of his right thigh, with Dani Olmo coming on in his place.
- He is expected to miss up to seven games, including next week’s Champions League decider against Copenhagen and the Copa del Rey quarterfinal versus Albacete.
- Barcelona faces additional selection pressures as De Jong is suspended for Copenhagen, Ferran Torres could be fit in time, Gavi targets a late‑February return, and Christensen remains out long term.
- This is Pedri’s third muscle absence of the season, reinforcing the club’s intent to avoid any rushed return.
