Barcelona suffer major blow with Pedri's injury 

FC Barcelona has suffered a major injury blow after Pedri suffered another lengthy injury in training on Thursday morning. The Blaugrana announced on Thursday the injury to his right thigh muscle and did not provide a recovery time, but Cadena Cope believes that he will miss more than six weeks of action. That would keep him out of action until early October, as well as Spain duty in September, and possibly October too when they face Scotland in their European qualifiers. Pedri, suffered a severe injury during morning training in preparation for the La Liga match against Villarreal. The Catalan newspaper "Sport" revealed that it is possible to arrive for several weeks.  The Canary Islander will thus miss matches against Villarreal (A), Osasuna (A), Real Betis (H), Celta Vigo (H), Real Mallorca (A), Sevilla (H) and Granada (A) in La Liga. There are also the first two fixtures in the Champions League which Pedri will be absent for, and having failed to get out of the group stage in recent years, this will be a major concern for Xavi Hernandez. Late goals from Pedri and Ferran Torres earn a thoroughly deserved three points from the first home Liga fixture at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys against Cadiz in the second round of the Spanish League competition.
