Pedri withdraws from Barcelona training ahead of El Clasico
The feeling's about the health of Pedri are not good. He was hoping to be at full fitness for Sunday's Clasico. He missed, among other matches, the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals at the Bernabeu and the visit of Athletic at San Mames. Both matches ended in a narrow win for Xavi's side.
The slight amount of goals scored by Barcelona, the lack of creativity and the stagnation of the ball in midfield are some of the consequences of the Pedri's absence. Now, when Xavi was counting on him for the match against Real Madrid, a compromising situation has arisen: Pedri did not finish Friday's training .
Pedri felt physical discomfort that prevented him from finishing the training session. The player's action sows doubts: the medical staff are studying the possibility of reserving him for the Clasico to avoid further injury.
If Pedri's absence from the Clasico is confirmed, his participation in the qualifiers for Euro 2024 with the Spanish national team remains in doubt.
Luis de la Fuente included the player in La Roja's 26-man squad. If he is not fully fit, he could miss the matches against Norway (25 March) and Scotland (28 March).
