Pedri Gonzalez will be sidelined again. The Barca player has suffered a tear in the femoral biceps muscle of his left thigh, but he does not want anyone feeling sorry for him. The 19 year-old spoke like a senior figure of the team and asked for support and unity after the Europa League elimination.
Barcelona have some big games from now until the end of the season if they want to be in next season's Champions League. Xavi Hernandez will be without one of his key players in Pedri.
The footballer got a serious injury against Eintracht Frankfurt and the club's worst fears came true. He has suffered a tear in the femoral biceps of his left thigh and he could miss the rest of the season.
As a result of the bad news, Pedri wanted to send a message thanking fans and asking for their support during these difficult times.
"It's a tough day, but there's no other option apart from looking ahead. Thank you so much for the love you have given me in the last few hours. With your support, I'm sure I'll return stronger," Pedri said on social media.
The attacker asked for them to support the team "now more than ever before" because that is the only way they will be able to overcome the disappointment of getting knocked out of the Europa League.
