Pedri’s road to recovery is unfolding far better than anyone anticipated, raising hopes inside Barcelona that their midfield jewel could return ahead of schedule.
The young star, who was initially expected to be out for several more weeks, is now progressing so quickly that he may be ready two weeks earlier than planned. There’s even growing optimism that he could feature for a few minutes in the match against Athletic Bilbao, though the club is treading carefully after Raphinha’s recent relapse.
For now, all signs are positive. Pedri has been training at full intensity with no discomfort whatsoever, and those close to him say he’s feeling stronger, sharper, and more confident by the day. If everything continues smoothly, Barcelona expect him to be fully available for two crucial fixtures on the horizon: Atlético Madrid and Chelsea.
It’s the kind of boost Barça desperately needs — and Pedri’s remarkable progress might just arrive at the perfect moment.
