""The first-team player Pedri has suffered a rupture of the distal biceps femoris in his left leg. The approximate recovery time will depend on the progress of the injury," the statement from the club read. Pedri felt discomfort today, after his physical exertion against Real Madrid in last Sunday's El Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu and trained away from the rest of the group. Tests have now confirmed a muscle injury for the midfield superstar, who has started every single game for Barcelona this season across all competitions."
"However, according to Javi Miguel of AS, the player is likely to be out for three weeks, and should be able to return after the international break in November. This can be seen as a silver lining by Barcelona, considering initial reports suggested a possible time out for about 4-5 weeks. Either way, Pedri, who was already suspended for the game against Elche, will also miss the matches against Club Brugge and Celta Vigo."
Pedri has suffered a rupture of the distal biceps femoris in his left leg and underwent tests that confirmed a muscle injury. The player felt discomfort following physical exertion in the El Clasico and trained apart from the group. The club stated that approximate recovery time will depend on the injury's progression and did not specify a return date. Sources indicate a likely three-week absence, shorter than earlier 4-5 week estimates. Pedri will miss matches including Club Brugge and Celta Vigo and is targeted to return for the home game versus Athletic Club on 22 November.
