This season is over, no ifs or buts about it anymore. Time to focus on other things than football this year. Wishing a good recovery for Pedri.

Will be VERY difficult to win any trophies with Pedri and Yamal not being fully fit. Seems like these players aren't built to play Flick system.

Nah it's not over. Winning LaLiga is going to be hard if certain subs like Casado, Olmo and Dro can't step it up with Lewa finding his rhythm and scoring like he used to. Garcia in goal will be a huge asset when he is back. But most importantly these injuries has to stop after Christmas break or it's definately going to be hard to keep up with Real. Then again let's see if Real's luck with injuries will hold up like it has so far. One injury to Mbappe and they are bound to lose some points. They are extremely dependant on him, more than we are dependant on Pedri and Lamine.

Luckily other competitions like UCL, CDR etc have playoff format later in the season so if we get our players healthy before Christmas we can still compete at those competitions with our best lineup. Then everything is up for grabs.

What on earth are they doing in training? Someone from our fitness staff clearly needs to be fired. The worst part is that the only top-tier teams that had a free summer are Barca and Liverpool. However, we now have much bigger issues than those teams that played in that ridiculous Club World Cup. This season is definitely going to be a disaster.

Pedri may just be brittle. We can't know for sure until he's managed at another club but it's obvious his physicality is poor. On top of being regularly injured he is frequently getting very tired during matches.

Ideally, he would be paired with midfielders who run much more than him, so he can save his energy for his work on the ball. In the last game he was with Frenkie and Fermin whose defensive work is quite limited and are not duel winning midfielders. There needs to be an anchor there who can break up play and pick up some defensive slack because that setup is unbalanced.

Of this season's injuries, Ferran, Raphinha, Balde, Lewy and now Pedri's have all been hamstring injuries.

Maybe time we pay a little more attention to this in our strength and conditioning work?

Then a CM with good physical attributes and box to box quality.

Don't want to repeat it constantly, but there is a reason Spain didn't use Pedri and Olmo at the same time on the field.

DLF also saw Pedri as an AM/10 until recently.

Would need to see what he would play when both available.

Merino is used to get in the box more as dont really have a 'proper' 9 more so than adding physicality and box to box in middle of park.

“The injury surprised us. After playing against Real Madrid, he only felt fatigued. Then the injury was discovered. We have to accept it. We’re missing one of our key players. He gives us stability and a lot of possession. We have to manage.”

Yeah its very telling, seems more than just coincidence. Pedri is also one of our players that run the most per game, if that can have something to do with it.
