Pedri

FC Barcelona has just released an update on the injury sustained by Pedri on Wednesday night in the Champions League.

As previously reported, the concerns of Hans-Dieter Flick for Pedri were well-founded. The Spanish midfielder picked up an injury during the match against Slavia Prague (4-2).

The young prodigy has officially suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be sidelined for about a month, according to an official statement from FC Barcelona. This is a blow for the Blaugrana.
