Aspen: Pedri recovers smoothly and may return early, and may play against Biba on November 22

According to information obtained by "AS", Pedri's return may be earlier than originally planned by the club doctor.

In fact, Pedri's recovery is progressing smoothly, and it is not even ruled out that he can play against Athletic Bilbao in the first game after the national team break. If the return date is indeed November 22, then Pedri will be back more than two weeks earlier than initially expected, which had him returning in early December in the most optimistic case.

Despite these positive signals, the club still prefers to remain cautious and unwilling to be too optimistic, especially after the recurring blow of Raphinha, who was injured close to the El Clasico. In fact, Pedri was injured in the El Clasico, and he did not feel any obvious discomfort in the back of his left leg at that time, except for the normal muscle fatigue caused by hard work. It wasn't until the next day that he began to feel unwell, and an examination confirmed a biceps femoris injury, also known as a hamstring injury.

Although the recovery time was not clearly stated in the medical report, sources revealed that the recovery time is expected to be about 6 weeks, during which he will miss about 8 games, although he has already missed the game against Elche due to the accumulation of yellow cards. In any case, Pedri will not return until the first week of December at the earliest and is expected to be unable to participate in the game against Chelsea on November 26 and the La Liga match against Atletico Madrid on December 3.

However, as confirmed by "AS", the current recovery situation is very positive, and Pedri is expected to appear in the game against Atletico Madrid, and may even travel to London to participate in the game against Chelsea.

There is no doubt that the next few days will be crucial in determining the strategy for his return. At present, Pedri has shouldered all the training load without complaint and his recovery is progressing smoothly. If recovery continues at this pace, it's possible he could rejoin the team early next week, although it would be gradual and not force him to overtrain.
