Hansi Flick has confirmed that Pedri is expected to return to the Barcelona squad by the end of February, providing a vital boost as Raphinha returns to action following the club’s Copa del Rey exit.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has provided a positive update on Pedri’s recovery, expressing confidence that the midfielder will return to the pitch before the month concludes.
While no specific date has been finalized for his comeback from a hamstring injury, Flick’s optimistic outlook suggests the 23-year-old is in the final stages of his rehabilitation.
The news serves as a significant lift for the Catalan side following their recent 4-0 thrashing by Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.
The Blaugrana are already bolstered by the return of Raphinha, who is available for Monday’s La Liga clash against Girona after recovering from adductor discomfort.
Flick emphasized the importance of his squad’s depth, noting, “Raphinha will be able to play,” as the team seeks to regain the summit of the table.
With key players returning, Barcelona aim to maintain their league consistency while moving past their domestic cup disappointment.
