Pedri relishing Espanyol test as Barcelona prepare to return to action
"I wanted to train. I had a little overload. Fortunately I feel well now, eager to continue contributing to the team and enjoy myself on the pitch,"
"I'm feeling very good to play. We're arriving at the derby with good momentum, Espanyol won't make it easy, but we'll go out to win as always."
Pedri missed Barcelona's final 2025 match against Villarreal with a minor calf strain but returned to training after the festive break in an open session at the Estadi Johan Cruyff. He feels well, is eager to continue contributing and to enjoy himself on the pitch, and is ready to play in the Catalan derby at the RCDE Stadium on Saturday. Barcelona approach the fixture on an eight-game La Liga winning run that has put Hansi Flick's team four points clear at the top. Espanyol are expected to provide a tough challenge despite Barcelona's momentum.
