FC Barcelona fears for Spain's international calendar in 2024. As in 2021, La Roja has the Euro Cup and the Olympic Games on its agenda and at Can Barça they want to avoid what happened with Pedri that year
Spain will have a very agitated summer in 2024. To the dispute of the Eurocopa in Germany (of 14 June to 14 July) add the Olympic games in Paris (of 26 July to 11 August). In this sense, the FC Barcelona and the other teams of LaLiga see with worry an international calendar that can suppose an enormous risk for the physicist of his footballers. In the case of the Barça, the 'case Pedri' in 2021 gives spare reasons to concern .
In thus that the managerial culé already is in contact with the Real Spanish Federation of Football (RFEF) to avoid a similar stage to the of the Canarian in the last editions of both tournaments. Players like Gavi, Fermín López, Alejandro Balde and the own Pedri have a lot of possibilities to go in in the lists for the two international appointments, something that would not have to suceder if they reach agreements to time.
The Barça will look for to avoid a new 'case Pedri'
In 2021, Pedri travelled to the Games of Tokyo with 52 parties contested between the club and the Selection, having played practically everything. For I satisfy, Luis De la Fuente had him like indisputable in the team that attained the medal of bronze contesting four consecutive extentions. In the Euro, the Canarian also had played three lengthen, which supposed a brutal wear for the then player of 18 years.
After that summer, the mediocentro has suffered a total of six muscular injuries, the last in the beginning of the 2023/24 that has separated him of the field by two months. The Barça does not want to run more risks in 2024 and from already have begun the negotiations with the RFEF, taking for granted that The Red will be in both tournaments with the mission to arrive to the final.
The leaf of route is clear: The one who play the Euro does not have to go to the JJ.OO
In this sense, so much the Barça like the Federation understand that contest two tournaments in summer is too much load for the players, by what the ideal is to design announcements where do not repeat too many names. For the culés, if Gavi, Pedri, Fermín and Lamine travel to Germany, the wisest is to avoid that they also are in Paris, although the case of Yamal is more complicated because of his youth. In principle, the extreme would have to aim to the Olympic, although it is very likely that Luis De la Fuente want him in the Euro.
