"Pedri has been out of action for almost a month now, having suffered a hamstring injury in the UEFA Champions League game against Slavia Prague. While the Catalans had coped fairly well with his absence, the last two games have shown how much they miss the midfielder's presence on the pitch. Indeed, Pedri's absence was glaringly felt in the Blaugrana's losses against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg and Girona in La Liga."
"Now, according to SPORT, Pedri continues to work individually at the club's training facilities despite Hansi Flick giving the Barcelona squad two days off after the Girona loss. And, the manager Flick drawn up a roadmap to recover the best version of Pedri ahead of the Cup. The midfielder aims to meet the projected recovery timetable and return to action later this weekend when Barcelona face off against Levante in La Liga."
"The initial aim is for him to play between 15 and 20 minutes in his return to league action. That would be the first stage, and if all goes well, he could be included in the squad and start regaining competitive rhythm for the upcoming fixtures. After Levante, Barça will have another free week, and those days will be important for Pedri to continue building match fitness. The next stop would be Villarreal, and the intention would be for him to complete half a match."
Pedri has been sidelined for almost a month after suffering a hamstring injury in the Champions League match against Slavia Prague. Barcelona managed without him initially, but recent defeats to Atletico Madrid and Girona exposed his absence. Pedri continues individual work at the club's training facilities despite a two-day squad break, and manager Hansi Flick has drawn a recovery roadmap aiming to restore his best form ahead of the cup. The plan targets a return this weekend against Levante with 15–20 minutes, a week of further fitness work, a half-match at Villarreal, and readiness for the Copa del Rey second leg on March 3 if no setbacks occur.
