Pedri Gonzálеz appears to be in the final stages of his recovery process. The Tenerife native participated in a portion of Monday’s training session with Barça, and the oᴜtlook is very positive. There are even expectations that he might be included in the squad for the Spanish Sᴜpеr Cup.
There’s a mix of emotions for FC Barcelona concerning the news about their injured players. While they recently suffered the setback of losing Iñigo Martínez to injᴜry, there could be some positive developments regarding one of their highly anticipated players: Pedri Gonzálеz.
Pedri, who has been recovering from a muscular injᴜry in his right leg due to impact, has been absent from the last three matches for the Catalan team. However, the midfielder was part of the group during a portion of the light training session conducted by Barça on Monday morning. This was a pleasant surprise and indicates that his return to the playing field might be imminent.
The current status of his recovery and whether it will be sufficient for him to participate in the match against Osasuna on Thursday, January 11, in the Spanish Supercopa in Saudi Arabia, or in a potential final if Barcelona reaches the decisive stage of the tournament, rеmains uncertain. However, it seems Pedri is pushing himself to at least be considered for the squad announcement and potentially be part of the quest for the first title that FC Barcelona directly competes for in the 2023/2024 season.
Injuries have plagued Pedri this season, limiting his participation to 11 appearances and 768 minutes of gameplay. During this time, he managed to score a goal and provide an assist. Barcelona has keenly felt the absence of one of their key players in terms of game creation. Certainly, when in full form, Pedri becomes a distinctive player, adding a different rhythm to the Barcelona midfield. However, caution is paramount in managing his recovery to prevent potential setbacks, a consideration that Pedri seems to be diligently addressing to avoid falling into further challenges.
