Pedri - Page 3 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Ready for return Pedri (quadriceps) is fit to play and is in the squad for Saturday's match against Sociedad, according to the club.

Impact Pedri will be making his long-awaited return on Saturday after spending over two months on the sidelines with an injury. This is great news for Barcelona, as they now have one of their best players in the squad and added depth to their constantly injured midfield. The Spaniard will most likely get the start against Sociedad, knocking Oriol Romeu to the bench for the time being.

Ruled out of El Clasico Pedri is not in the match day squad to face Real Madrid on Saturday.

Impact Pedri was a doubt in the buildup to the match and has been ruled out of Saturday's squad. The midfielder hasn't featured since August as he continues to recover from a quad injury.

Barcelona stars return to training, but Xavi 'won't take any risks' for El Clásico clash

Uncertain for El Clasico Pedri (quadriceps) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Real Madrid, according to manager Xavi.

Impact Pedri is a heavy doubt for El Clasico. The midfielder has missed more than two months with a quadriceps injury but has reportedly been pushing to play in Saturday's match. It's certainly a huge match but it's impossible to say if Pedri will be rushed back, especially with the worries of re-aggravating his muscular issue.

Looking to play in El Clasico Pedri (quadriceps) is targeting an Oct. 28 return versus Real Madrid, per Pol Ballus of The Athletic.

Impact Pedri has been out of action since Aug. 20 versus Cadiz but at least has a clearer recovery timeline moving forward. Given his extensive layoff, the midfielder will almost certainly have to make an appearance or two off the bench before being truly in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

Still unavailable Pedri (quadriceps) is not an option for Wednesday's UCL match against Porto after being left out of the traveling squad.

Impact Pedri will miss yet another match after being left out of the traveling squad once again. This is now eight straight matches in all competitions that the midfielder will miss since picking up the injury. At this point, it would make almost no sense for Barcelona to bring him back before the international break, as they will most likely sit him for these next two matches and give him an extra week to recover before a return.

Absence continues Pedri (quadriceps) will remain sidelined against Mallorca on Tuesday.

Impact Pedri has already missed the last five matches, including the Champions League, due to his lingering quad injury. At this point, Pedri almost certainly won't be an option against Sevilla on Friday either given the quick turnaround. Even once cleared to play, Pedri is far from a lock for the starting XI given the club's midfield depth.

Still out Pedri (quadriceps) is not in the preliminary squad for Saturday's clash with Celta Vigo.

Impact Pedri isn't in the preliminary squad list Saturday due to his quadriceps issue. The mega-talented youngster will have only limited time to heal further with his next chance to return coming during a Tuesday trip to Mallorca.

Won't return Tuesday Pedri (quadriceps) won't be available against Royal Antwerp on Tuesday.

Impact Pedri will be shelved for his fourth consecutive contest due to his long-term quad injury. Prior to his absence, the attacking midfielder had started two straight in which he registered one goal on four shots (two on target), two crosses (one accurate) and seven chances created. The club has yet to provide a more fixed timeline, so fantasy players should probably consider him out indefinitely until he returns to training.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Real Betis Pedri (quadriceps) is out against Betis on Saturday.

Impact Barcelona have not provided any timeline for the recovery of the 21-year-old, and head coach Xavi Hernandez didn't mention him in Friday's pre-match press conference, so his absence isn't really surprising. His next chance to play will come next Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League opener against Royal Antwerp.

Picks up injury Pedri will be out indefinitely after picking up a right quadriceps injury, the team announced Thursday.

Impact Pedri picked up a knock in training on Thursday, leaving him out of the squad until fully recovered. Barcelona was vague on any timetable for the 21-year-old's return, only stating that he is unavailable for next match and "his recovery will determine his return." If this ends up being a long term injury it would be a huge blow to the Barcelona squad as Pedri was expected to be their playmaker in the midfield this year and had seven goal contributions in his 26 appearances last season. Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres could fill into Pedri's spot while he is injured but if manager Xavi looks to change the formation while he is absent you could also expect more appearances from Barcelona's young attackers Ansu Fati and Lamine Yamal.

Impact Pedri scored his first goal of the season in the 82nd minute after a through ball by Ilkay Gundogan allowed him to take a sliding shot and score the game's opening goal. The midfielder also had a clear scoring opportunity in the 15th minute, but he chose to head the ball towards Robert Lewandowski instead of the goal, and unfortunately, it was saved by Jeremias Ledesma. The 20-year-old also created four chances and delivered two crosses during the match. Up next for Pedri is a match against Villareal, where he aims to replicate this level of performance

Creates three chances versus Getafe Pedri had one off-target shot and created three chances during Sunday's scoreless draw against Getafe.

Impact Pedri didn't perform at his best but still had his moments here and there, creating some good opportunities for teammates until the 78th minute, when he was subbed off. The wonderkid can play like a worldclass playmaker when able to be on the pitch and he'll hope to be finally free of the injuries that slowed him down over the past two years. Up next for Pedri is Sunday's home clash against Cadiz.

Subbed off at halftime Pedri (thigh) played the first 45 minutes versus Arsenal on Wednesday. In that contest, he recorded zero shots and 19 accurate passes.

Impact Pedri started 22 of his 26 La Liga appearances for the club last season in which he recorded six goals on 22 shots (nine on target), one assist and 25 crosses (eight accurate). Barring any further injury concerns, Pedri should reclaim a spot in the starting XI heading into the season opener versus Getafe on Aug. 13.

Not available for season finale Pedri (thigh) is not in Barcelona's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo.

Impact Pedri has been injured for much of 2023, missing two months from February-April with a thigh issue and then missing the final few weeks as well. But the 20-year-old still managed his highest-scoring seasons with six goals and one assist in 26 league appearances (22 starts) as he won La Liga for the first time with Barcelona. The midfielder's talent is undeniable, but he hasn't been able to stay fit across an entire season since his breakout year in 2020/21.

Impact Pedri has started four consecutive league games for Barcelona since returning about a month ago from a thigh injury that had sidelined him since mid-February. With the season mostly over -- Barca will be lifting the La Liga trophy after this weekend's game -- Pedri will not be risked against Sociedad after picking up a minor knock. Franck Kessie is likely to replace him in the XI in midfield.

Logs assist against Espanyol Pedri made an assist, had two off-target shots and created four chances during Sunday's 4-2 win over Espanyol.

Impact Pedri displayed all his creativity to ignite Barcelona's offense during the first half, being heavily involved on the build-up of plays and assisting Alex Balde for his side's second goal with a brilliant cross of the right flank. Incredibly, this was the first assist of the campaign for the wonderkid, who struggled with injuries for the second consecutive campaign but now is starting to get back to his top form.

Impact Pedri made his return to the team Sunday with an appearance off the bench. It will take him time to return to full match form, but is likely to start against Rayo Vallecano in the midfield alongside Frankie de Jong and Gavi. Prior to his injury, Pedri had started in 13 of the last 14 games, recording four goals and 26 tackles (14 won) in that span.

Impact Pedri is seen back in training for the first time in about a month, which means that his return could be as soon as Sunday. He will likely start off the bench at minimum until he returns to full match fitness, where he can compete with Sergio Busquets and Franch Kessie again for a permanent starting role in the midfield.

Impact Pedri has struggled to recover from a thigh injury, keeping him off the pitch the last two months. However, he could feature in the Atletico Madrid match on April 23. The team will not rush him in the starting lineup until he can return to full match fitness.

Pedri will hope to recover before an April 10 clash with Girona, though manager Xavi added Pedri's situation is purely based on pain management at this point.
