Since the Canarian picked up a thigh injury against Cadiz, which has apparently sidelined him for over a month, Barcelona’s lack of midfield dominance has been clear in the previous two games.

Pedri’s poise, decision-making, and talent have made him a significant differentiating factor for the Catalans, propelling him to the forefront of the team’s prominence quickly.

This was especially evident in Barcelona’s match against Osasuna, when Pedri’s ability to identify the proper pass, not press the issue, and open up gaps was crucial.

The 20-year-old is expected to miss the first half of October due to an injury, but he has offered an update on his recuperation and spoke about other topics.

Pedri discusses his road to rehabilitation and his many other passions.

The teen has joined the user base of the Residency App, a community for athletes and fans to become closer together.

One of Pedri’s fans inquired how he was doing fitness-wise during today’s workout, and he responded as follows.

My injury is slowly beginning to heal. Injuries occur often in football. I promise to return even more powerful than before.

In addition to talking about his favorite sportspeople and teams, he also spoke about other topics on the app.

During a casual conversation about his likes and dislikes, Pedri revealed his passion for sushi, his favorite color, and the fact that he prefers summer to winter. He also mentioned his desire to go to Mexico to experience the local cuisine.

He then shifted his attention to Gavi, his midfield teammate and close friend, discussing Gavi’s emotional homage to Pedri during their match versus Villarreal.

“He is a close buddy of mine. After Gavi suffered an ear gash against Osasuna, Pedri commented, “I really liked that he that he hit my celebration.” Pedri also noted that Gavi looks well with the helmet.

Pedri went as far as naming the Stephen Curry-led Golden State Warriors as his favorite NBA club and heaping admiration on tennis great Carlos Alcaraz.
