After the slump of the European elimination against Eintracht Frankfurt Barcelona live with anguish for the rest of the season because the worst news on Thursday night (beyond the unclassifiable invasion of the Camp Nou German fans) was Pedri’s injury, that since his reappearance had become the beacon of Xavi’s team.
And if we add to Pedri’s injury the uncertainty regarding the state of Ansu Fati, who has been advised by the club’s medical officials to delay his reappearance, that a start was scheduled for this Monday, it is logical that the alarms go off in the Blaugrana environment.
Both players, Ansu and Pedri, represent the pillars on which Barça must build its reconstruction both for quality and for youth. Contractually, both are tied after renewing this season. Ansu is 21 years old and has a contract until 2027 and a clause of 1,000 million euros which is the same as that of Pedri, who is 19 years old and has a contract until 2026.
The Canarian will not play again this season after suffering a ruptured biceps femoris in his left leg against Eintracht that will make him miss the rest of the season. On Saturday, the midfielder posted a message on his social networks in which he said that “It’s a tough day but there’s no other way but to look forward. Infinite thanks for the love you have given me in the last few hours. With your support, I am sure I will come back stronger. Now more than ever, let’s support the team and… FORÇA BARÇA”.
By his part, Ansu Fati, after two relapses He could reappear in the match against Rayo Vallecano on April 24, but the club wants to go very cautiously.
