Pedri’s injury uncovers the box of thunder

At AS we continue to report in detail all the events that are taking place with Pedri’s recovery. We were the first to anticipate that the Canarian player had bad feelings on Sunday during training, also in giving the result of the MRI scan that he underwent on Monday and which found that he would need three more weeks at least to recover and also to unveil the emergency meeting that Ronald Koeman called that same afternoon with the club’s doctors to give them a touch of attention on this new setback that forced him to change his roadmap, since he will not be able to count on the international until after the national team break, that is, until mid-November.

The witnesses who witnessed it assure that there were moments of great tension. And it is that Koeman’s assistant vehemently reproached him for this new setback of the player, to which the physio excused himself in bad luck, assuring that Xavi Linde, Pedri’s recuperator at that time, had done his job well. The situation was heating up, each one wielding their arguments, to the point that the field of play was blamed as responsible for the injuries.

Fortunately, the blood did not reach the river and finally the waters returned to their course, but facts like this clearly show that the slowdown in Pedri’s recovery has uncovered the thunder box within the club, no matter how much from the outside they want to sell us an idyllic image of the situation.

In fact, during the summit that Koeman had last Monday afternoon with the club’s doctors, that open gap between technicians and medical services was also evidenced, which It invites us to think that President Joan Laporta, sooner or later, will have to enter the scene to find a solution.
