Since Pedri faced a knee sprain in the Euro quarterfinal clash between Spain and Germany, Barcelona's injury concerns have seen a meteoric rise. After him, Barca faced one setback after another, losing star players like Araujo and Ansu Fati. 

Even though the club is linked with many transfer prospects, including Mikel Merino and Dani Olmo, Pedri's absence feels different from a Barcelona fan perspective. Being an important piece of Barca's midfield, the youngster's contribution has been significant in the middle of the park. 

How might Pedri's return be the biggest positive for Barcelona? 

However, a recent update has arrived regarding the star midfielder's injury. Moreover, the report promises to act as some relief for Barcelona fans who are in grief after Ansu Fati faced an injury just before the preseason. 
According to reports, Pedri is expected to be ready for the first match of the La Liga season. Since his injury, the Catalan player has been working hard to return as soon as possible. Finally, it seems that he would be able to represent FC Barcelona soon. 

Even though he would miss the preseason along with star players like De Jong, Gavi, and Fati, Pedri's return at the beginning of the 2024/25 campaign would be a huge positive for the Blaugrana club. Considering the rich vein of form the midfielder had picked before his injury, Pedri's role would be crucial to leading the Catalan midfield alongside veteran Gundogan. 

Even though his talent is unquestionable, considering his last season, where he was mostly injured, his match availability would be crucial to Barca. However, it seems that the youngster would get clear of this aspect under Hansi Flick.
