"Barcelona have suffered a serious setback on the injury front, as it has been confirmed that P edri will be sidelined for an extended period following a fresh injury blow. The news comes as a major concern for Hansi Flick, who has already been dealing with several key absences in recent weeks. Pedri's recurring fitness issues have been a frustrating theme for the club, and this latest development adds another layer of difficulty as Barcelona look to regain their footing in both domestic and European competitions."
"Adding to the growing concerns at the club, SPORT has reported that Frenkie de Jong was also absent from training yesterday. Thankfully for the Blaugrana, the Dutch midfielder's situation is not injury-related, as he missed the session for personal reasons, with full permission from the club. Barcelona officials have confirmed that there is no medical issue behind his absence and that the matter lies entirely within the player's private sphere. Out of respect for his privacy, no further details have been disclosed."
Pedri will be sidelined for an extended period following a fresh injury blow, exacerbating a pattern of recurring fitness issues. Hansi Flick faces a major midfield setback as Barcelona lose one of their most creative and disciplined players for weeks. Frenkie de Jong missed training for personal reasons with full club authorisation and has no medical issue; he is expected to return in time to prepare for the La Liga match against Elche. Marcus Rashford and Pau Cubarsi were also excused from training, with Rashford set to rejoin full training today. The squad's midfield depth will be tested in domestic and European competitions.
