World Sports: Rafinha is expected to return in the next round of La Liga, but Pedri s situation is not so optimistic

According to "World Sports News", Barcelona regards the international match day as a good opportunity for players to recover. Flick plans to continue training until Thursday, then take the weekend off, and then prepare for the game against Athletic Bilbao on November 22.

Bald, Eric Garcia, Martin, Bernal, Juan Garcia, Edel and Szczesny trained on a training ground in Sports City yesterday. However, Flick's focus is mainly on the recovery of two key players: Raphinha and Pedri.

Since the game against Oviedo on September 25, Rafinha has been undergoing rehabilitation alone due to an injury to his biceps femoris in his right thigh. He was initially expected to miss three weeks, but the recovery process has been more complicated than expected. The technical team believes that Rafinha has a greater chance of returning in the next round of La Liga, but is less optimistic about Pedri's return.

Pedri tore the distal biceps femoris of his left leg against Real Madrid on October 26 and was expected to miss three to four weeks. During this training session, Garvey and Casado also underwent treatment in the gym. Garvey felt discomfort in his leg before the game against Celta Vigo, but the medical team believes it is only a minor discomfort and he should be able to return in time, although they hope to continue to monitor his condition.

Joan Garcia has been training with the team for a week and he may return against Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona is currently facing a serious defensive crisis.
