– The club have not specified the time frame on the 21-year-old’s injury, but he looks set to be out of action for at least a month. With Barcelona’s season ending on the weekend of May 22, his season could already be over.
– With Barcelona likely having nothing left to play for at that point, Xavi Hernandez won’t want to risk him given the injury struggles that he faced in the first half of the season.
– Pedri was out for over two months at the end of 2021 and made his long-awaited return in January, before enjoying a stunning second half of the season.
