Barcelona Confirm Pedri Hamstring Tear After El Clásico

Early estimates point to a return after the November break.

Overview

  • The club said the midfielder tore the distal biceps femoris in his left thigh and gave no timetable, stating his recovery will dictate his return.
  • Spanish media reporting indicates an absence of roughly three weeks, which would sideline him for Elche, Club Brugge and Celta Vigo.
  • Because of a red-card suspension, he was already set to miss Elche, and the injury is expected to keep him out of Spain’s November qualifiers.
  • Pedri has been a near ever-present under Hansi Flick, starting all 13 matches this season and featuring in 72 of 73 since the coach’s arrival.
  • His setback adds to Barcelona’s workload concerns, though Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski returned to group training on Wednesday.
