🚑 Alarm for Barça and Spain: Pedri injured after El Clásico | OneFootball

FC Barcelona receives a tough blow right after the clash of El Clásico against Real Madrid. The Blaugrana club has confirmed that Pedri suffers a muscle injury that will keep him off the field for a few weeks.

"First team player Pedri suffers a tear in the distal biceps femoris of the left leg. The approximate recovery time will depend on the evolution of the injury", states the medical report released by the club.

In this way, Pedri will miss the next LaLiga match against Elche at Montjuïc, due to the suspension from his expulsion. Additionally, the information suggests that the talented Canary midfielder will likely be absent in the following two matches: the Champions League clash against Bruges and the league duel against Celta de Vigo.

Alarm bells are also ringing for the Spanish national team. His presence for the November commitments, where La Roja faces Georgia and Turkey, is seriously in doubt. This new ailment is a severe blow for Barça and the national team, losing a key player.

The origin of the physical problem is precisely situated in the recently played high-stakes match. Pedri finished El Clásico at his physical limit, an effort that now seems to be taking its toll on the talented Barça midfielder. It's worth remembering that the player ended the match being sent off with a double yellow card, so his absence in the next league match was already confirmed due to suspension.

This new muscle ailment is a severe blow for Barça, losing one of their key midfield pieces at a crucial moment in the season, just before the international break. We will have to stay tuned in the coming hours to know the severity of the injury and the recovery period the player will have to face.
