Pedri’s Race Against Time: Will the Midfield Maestro Join Barcelona’s Spanish Super Cup Quest?
In just 10 days, Barcelona is poised to kick off their pursuit of the first trophy in 2024 with a high-stakes clash against Osasuna in the Spanish Super Cup semifinal. The pivotal encounter, scheduled for January 11 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, demands a formidable squad, prompting the question: Will Pedri be a part of it?
The talented midfielder has been sidelined since the mid-December game against Almeria, initially slated to miss two weeks due to an injury. Recognizing Pedri’s history with muscle issues, the club has taken a cautious approach, refraining from hastening his return.
While Pedri is unlikely to be available for the Osasuna showdown, reports suggest that he will still travel to the Middle East with the team. The medical team is anticipated to provide the green light for the player’s potential participation in the final against either Real Madrid or Atletico on January 14—provided Barcelona secures a spot in the title match. The article delves into the intricacies of Pedri’s recovery timeline and the crucial role he could play in Barcelona’s quest for Super Cup glory.
