Barça: Pedri is not doing well

At FC Barcelona, Pedri still isn't reassuring anyone two weeks after his return from injury.

Pedri continues to be handled with care by his coach Hans-Dieter Flick. The Spaniard only came on at halftime in Bilbao (1-0) yesterday in La Liga. The reason? Just four days after the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg against Atletico Madrid (3-0), the Spaniard was clearly not at his best.

"We had just gone through a tough moment, we wanted to come back in the Cup but it wasn't possible, we missed it by a goal. We arrived very tired and it was important to win. Personally, I was really struggling." he said after the match.

Pedri might not be at 100% for the Champions League round of 16 first leg at Newcastle on Tuesday.
