The 2024 no only will be a transcendental year for the future of the sportive project that lead Joan Laporta and Xavi Hernández in the FC Barcelona. Also it will be it for Pedri, one of the footballers by those who the club has done a put important on a long-term basis when considering him one of his referents, but to the one who the injuries have pursued him during the last two years, preventing him have continuity.

From September of 2021, the year in which it played it everything with the Barça and Spain (Eurocopa, Olympic games), the one of Tegueste great seven muscular injuries, five of them in the back of the right thigh, specifically in the sinew of the corva. In total, the Canarian has lost 67 parties by muscular problems in the two last years, contesting only the 65 % of the official parties with the Barça from his debut in 2020.

This yes, when it attains to be to tope, the footballer marks difference and there is little to reproach him. This season, however, Pedri only has seen action in 11 parties, losing a dozen of meetings from August until November with the ones of Xavi Hernández.

In the 2022/23 also was in the dry dam two months, from mediated of February until mediated of April, ausentándose in 11 key duels for a Barça that only could remain with LaLiga after a disappointing final stretch of season that included painful eliminations in the Europe League and the Glass of Rey. With Pedri available and to tope physically, the culés surely would have had better luck in both tournaments.

From September of 2021, the mediocentro has not been able to chain more than three months followed of competition without injuries with the Barça, a very alarming data for a so young player (21 years). With the precedent of Ansu Fati, the '8' has very clear that, to continue his ordeal of injuries, hardly will be able to make history as Barcelona.
