The misfortune with the injuries of the young Pedri at this start of the season is becoming more than worrying. It all started on September 14, when the game against Bayern ended up injured. The medical part of the club diagnosed an injury to the quadriceps of the left leg. The club’s rush to get it back for the next Champions League game, against Benfica in Lisbon, were completely counterproductive: the player He relapsed from the injury after enduring just over twenty minutes on the pitch. Since that day, the Canarian midfielder is still out and unfortunately the plans for his return could be extended for a few more weeks.
And it is that as AS has learned, Pedri had a very bad feeling during his morning training session at the Ciutat Esportiva on Sunday. The player, who jumped onto the pitch, had to retreat hastily because the quadriceps of his left leg was being loaded.
Obviously, this situation alarmed both doctors and physiotherapists, since it is a clear step backwards in their rehabilitation. In fact, It is planned that this Monday, the player undergoes an MRI to assess these new discomforts and propose a new roadmap.
What seems clear is that Pedri’s recovery time will last a few more weeks, since after two official relapses, this new setback forces the medical services to rethink the recovery of the canary.
Thus, everything indicates that Koeman will still have to wait a few games before he can have one of his favorite players, as evidenced by the fact that he ended up last season being one of the footballers with the most games behind him.
At the club they are very clear that they are not going to take any more false steps with Pedri, so if the tests confirm a new injury, the return time could easily be extended until after the November break.
