Crucial assist in return Pedri assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Paris Saint-Germain.

Impact Pedri entered Barcelona's 3-2 victory over PSG in the Champions League quarterfinal Wednesday for the final 23 minutes. The appearance was Pedri's first after missing the previous four matches (all competitions) with a hamstring injury. Pedri wasted no time in making an impact, providing the assist on the decisive goal of the match. Pedri has missed consecutive matches due to injury on three separate occasions during the 2023-2024 campaign. However, he has still managed to match his goal contributions total from the previous campaign (seven) by virtue of his having scored twice and provided five assists over his 21 appearances (15 starts) in all competitions.

Finds bench spot Pedri (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against PSG.

Impact Pedri is back with the team to face PSG despite carrying heavy doubt of being available after spending four matches on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue. The midfielder will now hope to get the start in the club's next contest after testing his legs Wednesday, as he has started in 15 of his 20 appearances this campaign, being a regular starter when healthy.

In heavy doubt for Wednesday Pedri (hamstring) is unlikely to be involved in Wednesday's UCL quarterfinal against PSG, per Javier Miguel of Diario AS.

Impact Pedri looks to most likely not be an option for Wednesday's match, as he has only trained in a little over half of team training to this point, and the club will not risk the player's health after dealing with three separate muscle issues this campaign. With that being said, don't be surprised if he is left off the team sheet, probably only earning a spot on the bench even if he is selected.

Out against Las Palmas Pedri (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's match against Las Palmas.

Impact Pedri will continue on the sidelines for a further match, which should be no surprise, as he was just spotted training on grass this week. However, with that being said, the midfielder should be in line for a return over the next two weeks, possibly against PSG in the UCL on April 10 or Cadiz on April 13. He has now missed four matches with his issues, adding to the additional 14 contests he has missed this season due to injury.

Impact Pedi could see a return as soon as Saturday after missing the last three matches with a quad injury. He has been able to recover quicker than expected, which means that the midfielder will likely return to the starting XI as soon as he is fit to play. Prior to his injury, Pedi had recorded a goal and three assists in the last nine contests played, seven of them coming as starts.

Impact Pedri received some positive news Thursday after an ultimately horrid week following his second injury to his quadriceps this season. It appears the midfielder is dealing with a less serious issue than most thought to begin with, although he will most likely remain out for a decent portion of time. He will probably still miss the rest of March, not returning until after the international break, hoping to put his injury concerns behind him once he is back on the field, already missing 14 matches this season due to injuries.

Impact Pedri looks set for another spell on the sidelines, appearing to have picked up a quadriceps issue against Athletic after already missing 12 games earlier in the season due to the same quadriceps complications. Unfortunately, the midfielder is expected to miss anywhere from a month to a month and a half, now in line to be out for the second leg of their UCL round of 16 matches against Napoli and possibly missing the first leg of the next round if he is out for a portion of April. The club will now hope for a decent recovery and for the player to miss as little time as possible, as he is a regular starter when healthy, with Oriol Romeu and Fermin replacing Pedri in the midfield until he is an option again.

Impact Pedri returned from what has been a nagging muscular issue during the win Thursday.

Spotted in training Monday Pedri (strain) took part in Monday's training session and could be an option for the Spanish Super Cup match against Osasuna on Thursday, according to a report from El Desmarque.

Impact Pedri made a partial return to training, but the sight of seeing him on the grass was positive for Los Blaugranas. The talented playmaker has been absent since picking up an injury on Dec. 19, and there's a chance he ends up flying to Saudi Arabia to take part in the Spanish Super Cup, though if that's the case, then he'd be probably available off the bench and in a limited role.

Picks up injury in training Pedri will not be an option for Wednesday's match against Almeria, having gone down with a muscular injury during training, the club confirmed Tuesday.

Impact Pedri cannot catch a break this season, as he returns to the injury list after encountering a muscular problem while training Tuesday. The midfielder has already spent one spell on the bench this season due to a quadriceps knock that forced him out for 12 matches. The club will hope for a quick recovery, as they will now be without one of their top midfielders at a time when the club is struggling to keep consistency. He will hopefully return for their match on Jan. 4 against Las Palmas after the winter break, but expect Oriol Romeu and Fermin to get more starts while the player is out.

Impact Pedri couldn't appear on the scoresheet as he did during midweek's UCL win but he was still a big part of Barca's offense, being heavily involved in the build-up of plays and creating more chances than he did in any other game since returning from injury. The wonderkid started the last four games in all competitions for Barca and, with Gavi (knee) set to miss several months, his playmaking will be even more important during upcoming matches.
