Barcelona fans get crushing Pedri injury news

Barcelona have been hit as hard as any club in world football over the past month with injuries. Attacking superstars Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Ferran Torres, and Raphinha have all missed time at points with injuries, and Raphinha is actually still out injured for La Blaugrana.

Now, the latest gem to suffer a serious injury is star midfielder Pedri, who is the team’s second most important player after only Yamal, who was second in Ballon d’Or voting last season – and Pedri himself is a legitimate perennial Ballon d’Or contender.

Pedri went down with a muscular injury about a week ago, and now Diario Sport have provided Barcelona fans with an update on the Spanish international’s expected return date.

The 22-year-old superstar isn’t likely to be back for Barcelona until Dec. 6 against Real Betis. That means Pedri is set to miss games against Celta Vigo, Athletic Club, Alaves, and Atletico Madrid in La Liga, as well as Chelsea in the Champions League.

Four of those games are important ones, so Pedri will be missed badly by Barcelona. At least the Blaugrana have a lot of young midfield talent and depth to weather the storm until then, but this has been a really rough season so far in terms of luck.
