Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez received some good news. And it came at the right time – Pedri could play at the weekend in the upcoming El Clasico.The Spanish midfielder has been sidelined since injuring his thigh muscle a month ago in the first leg of the Europa League round of 16 against Manchester United. Pedri missed five games in that period, three in Primera (against Almeria, Valencia and Bilbao), the return match with United in the Europa League and the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final with Real.##NAJAVA_MECA_7098861##However, ahead of the league meeting with the fiercest rival on Sunday, the 20-year-old Spanish midfielder got the green light from the club’s doctors to return to team training, and he already did the first session on Monday. Now it is up to Xavi to assess whether he is fit enough to start the game against Los Blancos.Pedri’s return to the pitch is just one more in a series of positive developments at the Nou Camp in recent times. Robert Lewandowski recovered from his injury and returned to the team at the weekend, and the team overcame a slight crisis and after the elimination from Manchester United and the defeat from Almeria, tied two triumphs in the Primera and awaits El Clasico with nine points ahead of their rivals.ICYMI: Pedri back in group training today! pic.twitter.com/Dd6HRQQ23a— total Barça (@totalBarca) March 13, 2023
