Just in – Barcelona midfield superstar resumes group training before Levante clash | OneFootball

Following back-to-back defeats against Atletico Madrid and Girona, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick gave his players two days off to reset and regroup.

Following the short break, the squad resumed training today at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, with an eye on Sunday’s La Liga clash against Levante.

Pedri back in group training

And, in a major boost for Barcelona, Javi Miguel of AS reports that key midfielder Pedro has resumed group training.

The 23-year-old superstar has been out of action for nearly a month now, having suffered a hamstring injury during the UEFA Champions League clash against Slavia Prague in January.

As a result, he has missed a series of matches, including the two losses that Barça suffered over the past week.

Pedri, though, has seemingly recovered from the injury and did a part of the group training today, taking a huge step towards his comeback.

Everything indicates that the Spanish international will be back in action this Sunday against Levante, provided there are no further setbacks.

The idea is for Pedri to play some minutes in the second half at the Spotify Camp Nou, so as to build some match fitness and rhythm. He will play more minutes, potentially even start, next week when Barça face Villarreal in La Liga.

The objective is for Pedri to be at his 100% when Barcelona take on Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Copa del Rey semifinal, as they look to overturn the four-goal deficit from the first leg.
