Barcelona Loses Pedri After Muscle Injury

FC Barcelona have confirmed that midfield star Pedri has sustained a significant injury, dealing a major blow to the team’s campaign under Hansi Flick. The club’s official statement revealed that the Spanish international suffered a tear in the distal part of his left hamstring. Barcelona have not provided an estimated recovery timeline, leaving fans anxious about how long the midfielder will be sidelined.
Before the injury, Pedri had been one of the most consistent and indispensable players in Flick’s system, missing just one match under the German coach. He appeared in 72 of the last 73 fixtures across all competitions, demonstrating remarkable durability and form.
This season, the 22-year-old midfielder started in all 13 matches, scoring twice — once against Levante and another in the crucial victory over Girona. His absence will undoubtedly be felt in both Barcelona’s creativity and control in midfield, as the club continue their pursuit of the La Liga title.
Currently, Barcelona remain in contention near the top of the 2025–26 La Liga standings, but the loss of Pedri could force Flick to rethink his tactical setup heading into a crucial stretch of the season.
