"Corroborating the claims, Javi Miguel of AS reports that Pedri is, indeed, set to return imminently. The 23-year-old midfielder has been sidelined for a month after suffering a biceps femoris injury in his right leg on 21 January against Slavia Prague in the Champions League. But he has recovered from the injury and has begun working on the pitch, with the aim of returning on Sunday."
"For the match against Levante, the plan is for Pedri to come on in the second half and play around 15 minutes. A week later, against Villarreal, he could start and remain on the pitch for approximately 60 minutes. The objective is for the midfield maestro to be ready to complete 90 minutes in the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Atletico Madrid in pursuit of a comeback from the 4-0 deficit in the first leg."
Barcelona have suffered back-to-back defeats to Atletico Madrid and Girona and need a response to return to winning ways. Pedri, sidelined since 21 January with a biceps femoris injury to his right leg sustained against Slavia Prague, has recovered and returned to pitch training. The plan is for Pedri to enter as a second-half substitute against Levante and play about 15 minutes. He could start a week later against Villarreal and play approximately 60 minutes. The objective is for him to complete 90 minutes in the Copa del Rey semifinal second leg versus Atletico Madrid to overturn a 4-0 first-leg deficit. His return should improve Barcelona's tactical structure and performance.
