Pedri Injury News

We are here with the latest Pedri Injury News, as Barcelona have published an official report that reveals the seriousness of his injury. Pedri was substituted after 61 minutes at the Fortuna Arena when FC Barcelona were locked in a 2–2 draw with Slavia Prague in the Champions League Despite the scoreline at the time of his exit, Barcelona rallied strongly in the final stages and went on to complete an impressive comeback, winning the match 4–2 in Prague.


Pedri Injury Timeline and Matches he's Expected to Miss for Barcelona

Barcelona revealed in its official report that Pedri is expected to miss over a month of football action due to his latest injury. Medical tests carried out this morning have confirmed that first-team midfielder Pedro González has suffered a right hamstring injury sustained during the match against Slavia Prague. The club are set to be without their midfielder for a significant spell, with Pedri expected to miss at least seven matches across La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League. That number could rise to nine games depending on how far Barcelona go in the domestic and European cups.


Head coach Hansi Flick will be missing a key figure in midfield for important fixtures against Oviedo, Copenhagen, Elche, Albacete, Mallorca, Girona, and Levante. The situation is made worse by the timing, with the first leg of the Copa del Rey tie scheduled for February 10, 11, or 12, and the added pressure of a potential Champions League playoff if Barcelona fail to finish inside the top eight in the league phase.


Pedri - A Special Barcelona Talent who's held Back by Injury Issues

Pedri remains one of FC Barcelona’s most gifted players, but ongoing injury problems continue to hold him back. While his talent is unquestioned, his lack of physical continuity has become a growing concern for the club. This season, Pedri has already suffered three muscle injuries. Earlier in the campaign, he missed five matches — four because of a muscle tear and one due to calf discomfort. Now, he is facing an even longer spell on the sidelines.


The timing could hardly be worse for Barcelona. Pedri’s absence comes during a crucial phase of the season, leaving the team without his creativity, control, and calm presence in midfield just when they need it most. Hansi Flick's side will next face Oviedo on January 25th in La Liga, and they'll be hoping to earn all 3 points at the Spotify Camp Nou.
