Great news for Hansi Flick and all Barcelona fans. The "orchestra conductor" of FC Barcelona, Pedri, took a giant step in his recovery process this Thursday.

According to journalist Javi Miguel in the newspaper AS, the Canarian midfielder has completed his first part of training with the group, marking a turning point after his latest muscle injury.

Pedri's return comes just a month after he was injured in the hamstring during the Champions League match against Slavia Prague. Although he hasn't completed a full session yet, the fact that he is working with his teammates indicates that the feelings are very positive and that the healing process is on the right track.

Caution with his return

The coaching staff is maintaining maximum caution. Flick's goal is not to rush to avoid any kind of relapse, given the player's importance in the tactical setup. Pedri has been a key player this season, delivering great performances before being forced to stop.

In the coming days, it is expected that the player will gradually increase his workload. If his progress continues at the current pace, medical clearance could be closer than expected, allowing Barça to recover their main playmaker for the decisive part of the competition.
