The entire stability of FC Barcelona has been harmed to a great degree in recent days. In terms of squad depth and availability of profiles, Barça have lost two very crucial pieces recently. In the draw against Athletic Club, Barcelona ended up losing both Pedri and Frenkie De Jong.
The Dutchman’s injury to the ankle seems like it will take close to a month to fully heal. However, his case emerged as a result of a direct contact with an opposition player that resulted in him landing awkwardly on his ankle. Pedri, on the other hand, has truly rattled the people within Barcelona.
According to AS, the injury to the Spaniard is one that is proving to be confusing to those within the club. In fact, it could act as the first piece in a chain of dominoes that could bring about extreme reactions. This is because Barcelona now feel truly helpless for once when it comes to their Golden Boy.
Despite their attempts to make use of physical programs, special diets, and other means of rehabilitation and recovery, Barcelona still can not manage to protect Pedri from his recurring injuries. His relapses have been consistent this season, already having happened three times.
The muscular problems that seem to plague the talented midfield star seem to be quite persistent. No matter what Barcelona have tried, they seem to fail every single time. This time around, however, there is a rather special air of unease when it comes to the recovery of the player.
No one within Barcelona is willing to put a date on his return, something that is rather irregular. They are fearful of another relapse, and willing to take no additional risks. Surgical intervention has been stopped, but then again his recovery will now be a very careful and crucial process that Barcelona will look to monitor.
However, in the back of their heads, those of higher standing within Barça do not disregard taking special measures in the summer.
Pedri has not exactly been able to deliver on a consistent basis due to these recurring physical problems over the last couple of seasons. As a consequence, even a possible sale in the summer could be a route that Barcelona may have to take.
