Reports Indicate Pedri Could Rejoin Barcelona Squad on Nov. 22 After Rapid Recovery

Medical clearance will determine any early involvement as Barcelona pursues a cautious, phased return.

Overview

Spanish reports led by Diario AS say Pedri has progressed far quicker than forecast from the thigh injury suffered in El Clásico.
He could receive limited minutes against Athletic Club on November 22, according to multiple outlets.
A trip to London for the Champions League match against Chelsea is being considered, with any participation contingent on a late green light from doctors.
He is not expected to start immediately, with expectations that he will be close to full fitness for the early-December meeting with Atlético Madrid.
Initial guidance had pointed to a mid-December return around December 21 versus Villarreal, so the updated timeline represents a significant move forward while the club stresses avoiding any relapse.
