Pedri Returns to the Barcelona Squad After 74 Days But Should He Start?”

Pedri is back in the squad for Barcelona’s upcoming away game against Real Sociedad, marking his return after a 74-day absence, during which he missed 12 Barca matches. Manager Xavi has expressed confidence in Pedri’s full fitness and potential to start the game in San Sebastián. However, a considerable portion of Barcelona fans, expressing their opinions on platforms like X and Reddit, have reservations about rushing Pedri into the starting lineup.

Opinions from fans vary:

DKostanjsak (X): “Pedri should probably get around half an hour against Real Sociedad, depending on how the game goes, but that’s fine. The fact that Xavi can turn to the bench and utilize a player of Pedri’s quality is immense. That alone is enough to shift the tides. In case of emergency, break the Pedri glass.”

Shlome (Reddit): “I miss Pedri so much. The team isn’t the same without him, but let’s not start him today.”

lmostdeadyesterday (Reddit): “I’m so happy to see that Pedri can play this game. 🙂 I’m looking forward to seeing him come off the bench.”

As fans contemplate Pedri’s role in the match, they also offer their ideal starting lineups for Barcelona against Real Sociedad.
