Hope Grows as Pedri Nears Return: Support from Fans and National Team
The tears shed by Pedri Rodríguez after his injury in San Mamés are gradually transforming into hope as the days pass. The thigh injury initially feared to be serious turns out to be less severe than expected, and Pedri will finish the season indulging in his passion: football.
While no official timelines have been set, signs point to him being ready, perhaps even before May, the last month of the competition. However, caution will prevail, and Pedri will only return when, in addition to medical clearance, he feels positive sensations to get back on the field.
The player is regaining his spirits, as he himself shared on social media, thanks to the overwhelming support he is receiving. Besides fan messages, Pedri has witnessed the outpouring of support from his teammates and coaching staff.
As one of the most beloved figures in the locker room due to his good nature and excellent rapport with all club members, Pedri is known for being an exceptional person always ready to lend a hand.
The injury was painful for him and the entire team. Teammates acknowledge the effort and sacrifice Pedri has put in to overcome his setbacks, believing he deserves to be back in his natural habitat – the playing field.
Standing by his side, another crucial pillar in Pedri’s career is the Spanish national team. The Federation has supported him from the outset. The national team director, Albert Luque, visited the Ciutat Esportiva on Wednesday to personally offer support on behalf of Luis de la Fuente and the entire federation.
This support is vital, considering Pedri hasn’t played for La Roja since the 2022 World Cup, and the possibility of returning for the friendlies against Colombia and Brazil was on the horizon. Pedri will have to wait, but he knows that Luis de la Fuente is keeping him in mind.
Pedri’s presence is essential for the Spanish national team, and participating in the 2024 Euro Cup in Germany would be the ideal way to conclude a campaign marked by undeserved setbacks.
