Pedri Ruled Out for Four Weeks After Suffering Thigh Muscle Tear

FC Barcelona have confirmed that midfielder Pedri has sustained a tear in the distal biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh. The club released a statement saying, “First-team player Pedri has suffered a tear in the distal biceps femoris muscle in his left thigh. The player's recovery will dictate his return to action.”

Reports indicate that the Spanish international is expected to be sidelined for at least four weeks, ruling him out of several key fixtures for both Barcelona and the Spain national team. His absence adds to the growing list of injuries currently affecting the squad.

Pedri has been a key figure for Barcelona this season, making 13 starts and playing a vital role in midfield under coach Hansi Flick. Losing him will force Flick to adjust his tactics and rotate his available midfield options during this crucial period.

The club has not set an exact return date, stating that his recovery progress will determine when he can resume full training. However, Pedri is likely to return to action around late November or early December, depending on how well he responds to rehabilitation.
