Three shots blocked in loss at Vitality Pedro registered four shots (none on goal), one cross (accurate) and created four chances in Sunday's 3-0 defeat to AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Pedro was Brighton's most active playmaker Sunday. He had three shots blocked and created a series of opportunities that were not converted by his teammates. He was subbed after 88 minutes. It has been six matches since the Brazilian last found the net and he is the Seagull's regular penalty taker.

Whips in three crosses Pedro registered one shot (zero on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Thursday's 4-0 defeat versus Manchester City.

Impact Pedro was given his third start in the club's past four matches Thursday, following his return from injury. However, his performance was not ideal, only notching one shot, a chance created and three crosses in the loss. He still has yet to bag a goal contribution in his 296 minutes since returning, hoping one comes before the end of the campaign.

Impact Pedro saw a great performance despite going without a goal Saturday, registering a season-high of six shots in a match during the draw.

Impact Pedro made his return from a six-week absence and delivered a full-hearted effort with a season-high five shots.

Returns to starting XI Pedro (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's match against Brentford.

Impact Pedro's addition to the team sheet Wednesday should come as no surprise, as he was set to return for this match, immediately being boasted into a starting role after a nine-match spell on the sidelines. The attacker should remain in the starting XI moving forward amid any injuries, as he has been a regular starter when available and is the top goal scorer, having 19 goal contributions in all competitions.

Set to play Wednesday Pedro (hamstring) is expected to be an option for Wednesday's match against Brentford, as manager Roberto De Zerbi told reporters, "Joao played an Under-21 friendly on Saturday an...

Impact Pedro looks to be in line for his return following a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue, as he was given time with the U21s this weekend and is now fit enough to be back with the first team. The only question surrounding the player is if he will start and how long he will play if he is given that role. After an eight-match tenure out, it is most likely that the club will keep the attacker on the bench to start, with him seeing time off the bench while Evan Furgenson gets the start, as the club will not want to risk his health with the end of the season on the horizon. However, after this match, he should be expected to start, as he is the top goal-scorer at the club this season, notching 19 goals across all competitions.

Won't play Sunday Pedro (hamstring) will not be an option for Sunday's match against Liverpool, according to manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Impact Pedro will have to sit out yet another match despite his return to training, now missing his eighth straight contest due to hamstring issues. However, it does appear the attacker could return at any time, as he was chosen to be held out Sunday due to not risking players with the busiest part of the league season on the horizon. He will now hope his return comes against Brentford on Wednesday.

Pictured on pitch Pedro (hamstring) was pictured on the pitch Thursday ahead of Sunday's trip to Liveprool.

Impact Pedro still seems like a doubt for Sunday's match, as he'll need in at least one full training session before being considered for the squad. Given he's been out almost two months with the injury, it's going to take a bit more time for him to get back to full fitness and a couple bench appearances may be more likely for him upon return.

Impact Pedro was already expected to return sometime around the international break, and that has come to fruition, as he looks set to get back on the team sheet for the March 31 contest against Liverpool. This is great news for the club, as they are now only a couple of weeks away from gaining back one of their top attackers, as he has registered eight goals and two assists in league play. Once he does return, expect him to get a bid at the starting XI immediately, as before the injury, he had started in six straight matches.

Impact Pedro is not set to return for around another two weeks but is already starting his recovery process, having started to work with the team doctors this week. It does not seem like he will be returning anytime sooner than expected based on the latest reports, but he may miss a little more time than the three matches he was expected to be out for, as the club is still undecided on how much time he needs. Either way, both parties will hope for no setbacks and a speedy recovery, as the forward started in their previous six contest before the injury.

Impact Pedro needing a second scan and still not having a definite timeline certainly isn't good news.

Impact Pedro was originally expected to miss multiple games so the fact he's even in contention for Saturday's match is a good sign for his recovery. If Pedro isn't deemed fit enough for a start it would likely be Evan Ferguson who slots into the starting XI for the Crystal Palace clash.

Impact Pedro wasn't able to notch a goal contribution for the second match in a row Monday but still proved to be decent in the attack, registering one tackle, three crosses and four shots.

He has not started any of the last four league games, though he could see increased minutes if Fati's injury proves to be serious.

The forward has found more of his starting opportunities in cup matches this season, starting in three of the club's four UEL matches, recording four goals across those four contests. He may begin to see a couple of starts over their next couple of matches, with half of the club's attacking options being out injured, but he will still have to top the likes of Kaoru Mitoma and Simon Adingra to achieve that feat.

Impact Joao Pedro was back on the bench after starting the previous game against Newcastle. He created more chances than any other player despite only appearing in the 64th minute and he sealed the points with a wonderful finish from the edge of the area. Brighton have a plethora of attacking options, but if he puts in more performances like this he is capable of becoming one of the first names on the team sheet.
