FC Barcelona is beginning to smile, since at a time when the culé club does not have enough players in the core area, the fact that Pedri is recovering satisfactorily, to the point of rejoining training with the team, creates a very encouraging outlook for Hansi Flick
Good news for FC Barcelona as they approach the official start of the 2024/25 season. The Barcelona squad witnessed how, during the morning training session this Wednesday under the guidance of German coach Hansi Flick, one of their injured players was present and is working towards a speedy recovery.
In this regard, the Catalan team had the presence of Pedri González in this training session at the Joan Gamper Sports City. The player from Tegueste participated in part of the practice session with the group, suggesting that his return to the field wearing the blue and garnet jersey could be getting closer.

It is worth remembering that the Barça '8' has been injured since July 5, when during the match between Spain and Germany (2-1) in the Euro Cup, corresponding to the quarter-finals of that tournament, he fell victim to an unfortunate tackle by Toni Kroos. After medical examinations, it was determined that he suffered an internal lateral sprain in his left knee, an injury that usually takes between six and eight weeks to recover from.
When could Pedri return to action with FC Barcelona?
Following this schedule, Pedri would be meeting the recovery timelines, as next Friday, August 16, will mark six weeks since he suffered this physical setback. However, it is important to note that his full return to training routines will depend on how he responds as the intensity increases in the upcoming sessions.
From this perspective, considering Pedri's history, the club may choose to be cautious and not include him in the match on Saturday, August 17, against Valencia CF, which marks Barcelona's debut in LaLiga EA Sports 2024/25. Therefore, it is more likely that we will see him back in the squad for the clash against Athletic Club on Saturday, August 24, giving him an additional week of recovery. However, the final decision will depend on how he feels physically and his readiness to return to action.
