"FC Barcelona saw their 11-game winning run across all competitions come to an end on Sunday as Real Sociedad beat them 2-1 in La Liga. It was an unlucky evening for the Blaugrana as they were by far the better team and created plenty of chances - hitting the woodwork on five occasions and seeing three goals ruled out by match officials."
"As per the report, the Spanish international did not train with the rest of the group in today's recovery session. Instead, he followed an individual programme after the strong challenge he suffered to his ankle from Carlos Soler. Pedri finished the match at the Reale Arena in pain and with significant swelling, but medical tests ruled out any injury, and he will be available for Wednesday's Champions League match in Prague."
"This will come as a huge relief for Barcelona, who had seen Pedri miss a few matches not very long ago due to fitness problems. Having their midfield superstar fit and available will be key for Hansi Flick & co. as they hope to make a late push for a top-eight finish in the Champions League. For that to happen, Barcelona will need to win their remaining two fixtures against Slavia Prague and FC Copenhagen, while hoping for teams above them to drop points."
FC Barcelona's 11-game winning run ended as Real Sociedad beat them 2-1 despite Barcelona creating many chances and hitting the woodwork five times while seeing three goals ruled out. Raphinha has returned to group training and will be available for the trip to Slavia Prague. Pedri did not join the recovery session and followed an individual programme after a strong challenge to his ankle from Carlos Soler, finishing with pain and swelling. Medical tests found no injury, and Pedri will be available for the Champions League match. Barcelona must win their remaining fixtures and rely on rivals dropping points to advance.
