Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has delivered a worrying update on club midfielder Pedri. This comes after the Spain international was forced out of a Champions League clash with Slavia Prague, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, it is not good news for the Spaniard on the fitness front, but he still does not know how long he will be out for.
Flick added that Pedri suffered a hamstring injury and he would not be available to face Copenhagen.
His words, “I don’t know what he has exactly, but it’s the hamstring. It is what it is. Sometimes these things happen. I don’t know how long he will be out. It’s not good news. We will see [on Thursday].
It won’t be easy to beat Copenhagen. We don’t know if Ferran [Torres] will be back, maybe Pedri won’t play now, Frenkie [de Jong] will be suspended. But we will get Lamine [Yamal] back, it’s true, and we have a good opportunity to make the top eight. We didn’t start the Champions League well, but with one game left, we have a chance to be where we want to be still.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona. It is the third-most valuable sports team in the world, worth $5.51 billion, and the world’s fourth richest football club in terms of revenue, with an annual turnover of €582.1 million.
The official Barcelona anthem is the “Cant del Barça”, written by Jaume Picas and Josep Maria Espinàs. Barcelona traditionally play in dark shades of blue and garnet stripes, hence nicknamed Blaugrana.
In March 2021, Lionel Messi overtook Xavi’s record of 767 games played for the club, and presently has made 778 official appearances in all competitions, while also holding the record for the most appearances in La Liga matches for Barcelona, with 520.
