Barca: Injured against Frankfurt, Pedri could miss end of season

Having hurt his left hamstring against Frankfurt on Thursday, Pedri should not be able to play again for the season. The Spanish midfielder, who was heavily used in 2020-21, had already missed several months of competition with Barcelona earlier this season.

Against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday, Barca lost a lot. Deprived of their ambition to add the only major trophy to their list, which is still lacking, the Europa League, FC Barcelona could also have shed some feathers in passing on the European scene.

Replaced by Frankie de Jong at halftime against the Germans (2-3 loss), Pedri injured his partner in the thigh. In the evening, Barca revealed that Pedri was suffering from “discomfort in the left hamstring”. The Spanish prodigy will now have to undergo additional medical examinations to determine the nature of his injury and the duration of his unavailability.

Radiation with Barca for a few weeks

But Catalan sports media fear this Friday morning that the end of the 19-year-old’s season has already been recorded. Big blow for Barcelona. The midfielder was radiant for a few weeks, having recently scored two impressive goals in Galatasaray (1-2) in the Europa League, then against Sevilla (1-0) in La Liga.

Already long absent at the start of this season, Pedri missed 22 games between September 2021 and January 2022, according to Transfermark. Golden Boy 2021 is probably paying off for his 2020-2021 season, which is as eccentric as it is endless, where he completed a massive marathon of matches (52 with FC Barcelona, ​​continuing with Euro Spain with the first Olympic Games).
