Traveled to Saudi Arabia Pedri (strain) is on the team sheet for Thursday's Super Copa semifinals match versus Osasuna.

Impact Pedri made the trip to the team Tuesday and is on the team sheet for Thursday's Super Cup clash. He will look to make a smooth return to the starting XI after making six starts in the last seven games, logging in an assist with 13 chances created and 11 tackles in that span.

Spotted in training Monday Pedri (strain) took part in Monday's training session and could be an option for the Spanish Super Cup match against Osasuna on Thursday, according to a report from El Desmarque.

Impact Pedri made a partial return to training, but the sight of seeing him on the grass was positive for Los Blaugranas. The talented playmaker has been absent since picking up an injury on Dec. 19, and there's a chance he ends up flying to Saudi Arabia to take part in the Spanish Super Cup, though if that's the case, then he'd be probably available off the bench and in a limited role.

Picks up injury in training Pedri will not be an option for Wednesday's match against Almeria, having gone down with a muscular injury during training, the club confirmed Tuesday.

Impact Pedri cannot catch a break this season, as he returns to the injury list after encountering a muscular problem while training Tuesday. The midfielder has already spent one spell on the bench this season due to a quadriceps knock that forced him out for 12 matches. The club will hope for a quick recovery, as they will now be without one of their top midfielders at a time when the club is struggling to keep consistency. He will hopefully return for their match on Jan. 4 against Las Palmas after the winter break, but expect Oriol Romeu and Fermin to get more starts while the player is out.

Creates three chances in win Pedri had one off-target shot and created three chances during Sunday's 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid.

Impact Pedri couldn't appear on the scoresheet as he did during midweek's UCL win but he was still a big part of Barca's offense, being heavily involved in the build-up of plays and creating more chances than he did in any other game since returning from injury. The wonderkid started the last four games in all competitions for Barca and, with Gavi (knee) set to miss several months, his playmaking will be even more important during upcoming matches.

Assists in Tuesday win Pedri had an assist while taking an off target shot, crossing once inaccurately and creating two chances during Tuesday's 2-1 win over Porto.

Impact Pedri set up Joao Cancelo in the 32nd minute assisting Barca's first goal of the match. The assist was Pedri's first goal involvement in his last five matches after returning from a lengthy layoff due to a quadriceps injury.

Makes sixth appearance Pedri recorded two shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Rayo Vallecano. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 31st minute.

Impact Pedri earned the starting nod in midfield as he continues working his way back from a quadriceps injury and won his only tackle on top of his two shots. It wasn't a dominant performance but he will likely increase his output as he regains his rhythm and sharpness.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting again following absence Pedri featured in the starting XI against Deportivo Alaves on Nov. 12, his first start in La Liga since Aug. 20 versus Cadiz.

Impact Pedri is three matches back from his long-term injury absence, making one start and logging a combined 145 minutes in which he generated one shot (off target), three crosses (one accurate) and four chances created. With the extra training time courtesy of the international break, the midfielder should be full go the rest of the way and could feature in the starting XI frequently, especially with Gavi (knee) done for the season.

On bench for return Pedri (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Sociedad.

Impact Pedri was expected to return for Saturday's match and is, but on the bench instead of the starting XI. It seems as if they don't want to rush their young star back into play after a serious injury. He should be expected to return for their UCL match against Skahatar after testing his legs against Sociedad.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for return Pedri (quadriceps) is fit to play and is in the squad for Saturday's match against Sociedad, according to the club.

Impact Pedri will be making his long-awaited return on Saturday after spending over two months on the sidelines with an injury. This is great news for Barcelona, as they now have one of their best players in the squad and added depth to their constantly injured midfield. The Spaniard will most likely get the start against Sociedad, knocking Oriol Romeu to the bench for the time being.

Ruled out of El Clasico Pedri is not in the match day squad to face Real Madrid on Saturday.

Impact Pedri was a doubt in the buildup to the match and has been ruled out of Saturday's squad. The midfielder hasn't featured since August as he continues to recover from a quad injury.

Barcelona stars return to training, but Xavi 'won't take any risks' for El Clásico clash

Uncertain for El Clasico Pedri (quadriceps) is a doubt for Saturday's clash with Real Madrid, according to manager Xavi.

Impact Pedri is a heavy doubt for El Clasico. The midfielder has missed more than two months with a quadriceps injury but has reportedly been pushing to play in Saturday's match. It's certainly a huge match but it's impossible to say if Pedri will be rushed back, especially with the worries of re-aggravating his muscular issue.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Looking to play in El Clasico Pedri (quadriceps) is targeting an Oct. 28 return versus Real Madrid, per Pol Ballus of The Athletic.

Impact Pedri has been out of action since Aug. 20 versus Cadiz but at least has a clearer recovery timeline moving forward. Given his extensive layoff, the midfielder will almost certainly have to make an appearance or two off the bench before being truly in contention for a spot in the starting XI.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still unavailable Pedri (quadriceps) is not an option for Wednesday's UCL match against Porto after being left out of the traveling squad.

Impact Pedri will miss yet another match after being left out of the traveling squad once again. This is now eight straight matches in all competitions that the midfielder will miss since picking up the injury. At this point, it would make almost no sense for Barcelona to bring him back before the international break, as they will most likely sit him for these next two matches and give him an extra week to recover before a return.

Absence continues Pedri (quadriceps) will remain sidelined against Mallorca on Tuesday.

Impact Pedri has already missed the last five matches, including the Champions League, due to his lingering quad injury. At this point, Pedri almost certainly won't be an option against Sevilla on Friday either given the quick turnaround. Even once cleared to play, Pedri is far from a lock for the starting XI given the club's midfield depth.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Pedri (quadriceps) is not in the preliminary squad for Saturday's clash with Celta Vigo.

Impact Pedri isn't in the preliminary squad list Saturday due to his quadriceps issue. The mega-talented youngster will have only limited time to heal further with his next chance to return coming during a Tuesday trip to Mallorca.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Tuesday Pedri (quadriceps) won't be available against Royal Antwerp on Tuesday.

Impact Pedri will be shelved for his fourth consecutive contest due to his long-term quad injury. Prior to his absence, the attacking midfielder had started two straight in which he registered one goal on four shots (two on target), two crosses (one accurate) and seven chances created. The club has yet to provide a more fixed timeline, so fantasy players should probably consider him out indefinitely until he returns to training.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play against Real Betis Pedri (quadriceps) is out against Betis on Saturday.

Impact Barcelona have not provided any timeline for the recovery of the 21-year-old, and head coach Xavi Hernandez didn't mention him in Friday's pre-match press conference, so his absence isn't really surprising. His next chance to play will come next Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League opener against Royal Antwerp.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up injury Pedri will be out indefinitely after picking up a right quadriceps injury, the team announced Thursday.

Impact Pedri picked up a knock in training on Thursday, leaving him out of the squad until fully recovered. Barcelona was vague on any timetable for the 21-year-old's return, only stating that he is unavailable for next match and "his recovery will determine his return." If this ends up being a long term injury it would be a huge blow to the Barcelona squad as Pedri was expected to be their playmaker in the midfield this year and had seven goal contributions in his 26 appearances last season. Sergi Roberto and Ferran Torres could fill into Pedri's spot while he is injured but if manager Xavi looks to change the formation while he is absent you could also expect more appearances from Barcelona's young attackers Ansu Fati and Lamine Yamal.

Impact Pedri scored his first goal of the season in the 82nd minute after a through ball by Ilkay Gundogan allowed him to take a sliding shot and score the game's opening goal. The midfielder also had a clear scoring opportunity in the 15th minute, but he chose to head the ball towards Robert Lewandowski instead of the goal, and unfortunately, it was saved by Jeremias Ledesma. The 20-year-old also created four chances and delivered two crosses during the match. Up next for Pedri is a match against Villareal, where he aims to replicate this level of performance

AUGUST 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Creates three chances versus Getafe Pedri had one off-target shot and created three chances during Sunday's scoreless draw against Getafe.

Impact Pedri didn't perform at his best but still had his moments here and there, creating some good opportunities for teammates until the 78th minute, when he was subbed off. The wonderkid can play like a worldclass playmaker when able to be on the pitch and he'll hope to be finally free of the injuries that slowed him down over the past two years. Up next for Pedri is Sunday's home clash against Cadiz.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Subbed off at halftime Pedri (thigh) played the first 45 minutes versus Arsenal on Wednesday. In that contest, he recorded zero shots and 19 accurate passes.

Impact Pedri started 22 of his 26 La Liga appearances for the club last season in which he recorded six goals on 22 shots (nine on target), one assist and 25 crosses (eight accurate). Barring any further injury concerns, Pedri should reclaim a spot in the starting XI heading into the season opener versus Getafe on Aug. 13.

JULY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not available for season finale Pedri (thigh) is not in Barcelona's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo.

Impact Pedri has been injured for much of 2023, missing two months from February-April with a thigh issue and then missing the final few weeks as well. But the 20-year-old still managed his highest-scoring seasons with six goals and one assist in 26 league appearances (22 starts) as he won La Liga for the first time with Barcelona. The midfielder's talent is undeniable, but he hasn't been able to stay fit across an entire season since his breakout year in 2020/21.
