Overview
- FC Barcelona said Pedri has a rupture of the distal biceps femoris in his left leg and did not provide a fixed recovery date.
- Post-match tests following the Real Madrid defeat confirmed a muscular injury, he missed Wednesday’s training, and he had been sent off late in the Clásico with a second yellow card.
- He will miss Elche through suspension and is expected to be unavailable for Club Brugge in the Champions League and Celta in LaLiga, according to multiple outlets.
- Spanish media report he is likely out until after the November international window, though the club says his return depends on how the injury evolves.
- His absence removes a regular starter who has begun all 13 Barça matches and four for Spain this season, further stretching Hansi Flick’s injury-hit squad that already includes Raphinha, Gavi and Dani Olmo, with some teammates nearing a return.
