Barcelona midfielder Pedri suffered a hamstring injury during the second half of his team's 4-2 victory over Slavia Prague in the Champions League. The 23-year-old was substituted in the 61st minute after going down near midfield. Coach Hansi Flick expressed uncertainty about the injury's severity.
In Prague, Barcelona secured a 4-2 win against Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, but the match was marred by an injury to key midfielder Pedri. The 23-year-old Spain international assisted one of Fermín López's goals in the first half before sustaining a hamstring injury during a breakaway by the hosts. He went down near midfield and was replaced by Dani Olmo in the 61st minute.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick commented post-match, stating he did not know the extent of the injury. Teammate Fermín López voiced concern, saying, “We'll see what the tests show, but it will be tough if he's injured. Hopefully he will be able to recover quickly because we need him in the team.”
The team played without star forward Lamine Yamal, who was sidelined due to a yellow card suspension. Despite the setback, Barcelona maintained their momentum to claim the victory.
Looking ahead, Barcelona's next fixture is against Oviedo in the Spanish league on Sunday. The injury raises questions about Pedri's availability for upcoming matches, given his importance to the squad.
