"According to SPORT, Barcelona youngster Pedro 'Dro' Fernández did not train in the session prior to the match against Racing Santander and will not travel to Santander for the Copa del Rey tie. The 18-year-old midfielder will be unavailable and will not join the squad after it was confirmed that he is carrying physical discomfort that prevents him from competing at full capacity."
"The player is held in very high regard internally due to his projection and performances. The teenager has made a strong impression on Flick since pre-season, with the coach satisfied by his attitude and his fit within the playing model. Barcelona plan to follow the same strategy that they did with Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi and tie down the academy ace to a new long-term contract at the earliest possible."
Pedro 'Dro' Fernández did not train before Barcelona's Copa del Rey match against Racing Santander and will not travel to Santander. The 18-year-old midfielder is carrying physical discomfort that prevents him from competing at full capacity, so the coaching staff have chosen not to take risks and will not include him in the matchday squad. Spain Under-18 released him from their squad aware of his discomfort. He will remain in Barcelona this week to focus on a full recovery and aims to return to the group in coming weeks. Barcelona are working on a long-term contract renewal due to his high projection and strong impression on Hansi Flick.
