Pedri has played 73 of the last 74 matches for Barcelona and Spain, and the only match he missed was due to gastroenteritis. Hansi Flick's coaching staff, with head fitness coach Julio Tous as the main proponent, developed a specific individual training plan for him to strengthen him physically and try to prevent the recurrence of muscle injuries, and it is paying off. Flick himself once explained that, rather than completely resting, Pedri benefited from playing and resting in the final few minutes of matches. Via (): @gbsans [md]

Said this before.. it wasnt all those games in that season that caused him injuries it was the stop start nature of that summer in 2021.

Season ends.. short break.. Olympics.. short break.. season.

Then club rushed him back too many times.

Although to me he did look tired at end of last season and would expect more from him away to Inter etc.

Balancing act.
