The hits keep on coming and coming whenever FC Barcelona seems to be involved. Panic off the field was not enough to make the lives of La Blaugrana miserable enough it seems, as problems concerning the squad continue to arise.
Even at the time of writing, Barcelona continue to be ridiculed with various first-team injuries. Marc Andre Ter Stegen, Gavi, Inigo Martinez, and Marcos Alonso are all currently injured. To add further instability, Frenkie De Jong is also suspended for the upcoming game against Almeria.
However, it seems that these miserable presents in the festive season do not end just there. According to the latest information provided by Mundo Deportivo, 21-year-old midfield star Pedri is now also out injured.
In the case of the Canary Islander, it is primarily a muscular overload that is set to keep him out of action for now. However, it is fortunate that his situation does not seem too severe.
As per further information from MD, it is believed that Pedri will only miss two games due to this slight hurdle. The upcoming game against Almeria in La Liga and the friendly against Club America in Dallas will both be missed by Barça’s midfield prodigy.
During the latest training session, as highlighted by MD, Pedri noticed some muscular discomfort. Given his past history of problematic issues with his injuries, Xavi and Barcelona will be cautious with this scare.
In order to prevent him from suffering an even worse injury or relapse, La Blaugrana will let Pedri take his time to recover. However, this does leave the Catalan giants in a bad spot for the Almeria game. With Frenkie De Jong suspended, and now Pedri also injured, the midfield options are stretched quite thin.
Marc Casado is a great option to come into the team, and he will likely be paired up with Ilkay Gundogan. Another name to keep an eye out for will undoubtedly be Fermin Lopez, who continues to be a great asset for Barcelona.
