The FC Barcelona midfielder suffers inflammation in his left hamstring just before the last match of the year<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

Contained alarm at FC Barcelona just two days before the match against Villarreal<\/strong>. Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> did not train this Friday with the rest of the squad and his absence has set off alarms, although the club has wanted to convey a message of calm.<\/p>

The Canarian midfielder is suffering from inflammation in the left hamstring<\/strong>, an ailment that has led the medical services to opt for caution. The situation comes on the eve of the last match of the year, scheduled for this Sunday at 4:15 PM at the La Cer\u00e1mica stadium<\/a><\/strong><\/p>

The club downplays Pedri’s discomfort<\/h2>

From the Blaugrana camp, they insist that it is not a serious injury. The objective is to avoid unnecessary risks and assess his feelings before making a definitive decision about his presence against Villarreal<\/strong>.<\/p>

Even so, the figure of Pedri is key in Hansi Flick’s plans<\/a><\/strong>, which explains the special attention any physical setback for the Spanish international, one of the team’s most decisive players, generates.<\/p>

Reassuring Precedents in LaLiga Without the Canary<\/h2>

In the event that Pedri<\/strong> doesn’t make it in time, league precedents invite optimism. Bar\u00e7a has won the three league matches played this year without him:<\/p>

  • vs Elche (3-1)<\/li> \t
  • vs Athletic Club (4-0)<\/li> \t
  • vs Celta de Vigo (2-4)<\/li> <\/ul>

    The outlook is different in the Champions League, where his absence coincided with a draw against Bruges (3-3) and a clear defeat on Chelsea’s ground (3-0), which reinforces the importance of the Canary Islander in matches of the highest demand<\/p>

    Last key session before the trip to Villarreal<\/h2>

    The Blaugrana squad will hold a final training session this Saturday before traveling to Villarreal. It will then be determined if Pedri<\/strong> is fit to be included in the squad<\/strong> and play minutes at La Cer\u00e1mica.<\/p>

    Until that moment, Bar\u00e7a<\/strong> remains calm and trusts that the inflammation will turn out to be a scare, allowing them to end the year with one of their most important players on the field.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
