Barcelona

Barcelona bounced back from their recent La Liga disappointment with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League, climbing to ninth place in the standings. However, the celebration was short-lived as the Catalan giants were dealt a major setback involving their midfield star, Pedri.

The 23-year-old was forced off in the 61st minute and later underwent medical tests back in Barcelona. The club confirmed that Pedri suffered a strained right hamstring and is expected to be sidelined for around a month.

Pedri Absence Looms Large for Title-Chasing Barcelona

Pedri has been a key figure for the Blaugrana this season, starting 24 matches across all competitions and contributing four goals. His absence comes at a critical stage, with Barcelona entering a demanding run of fixtures in both domestic and European competitions.

Despite the injury setback, Barcelona remain top of the La Liga table with 49 points from 20 matches, holding a narrow one-point lead over rivals Real Madrid. In the Champions League, they sit ninth with 13 points from seven games, while Real Madrid occupy third place with 15 points.

As the season intensifies, Barcelona will now have to navigate a crucial period without one of their most influential midfielders.
