Bad news for Barcelona: Pedri out for El Clasico

Barcelona will host Real Madrid at Camp Nou on Sunday but the Catalan club will be without players Pedri and Ousmane Dembele.

Pedri was unable to complete Friday's training session due to his thigh injury and on Saturday he did not even train with his teammates. For this reason, he is likely to be unavailable for El Clasico.

Furthermore, Ousmane Dembele also missed the last training session before the game against Ancelotti's side. As a result, his availability is uncertain but he is expected to be unavailable.

Barcelona coach Xavi counted on Martin Georgiev, Gerard Gonzalez and Eder Aller, who play for the academy, for the training session. According to 'Sport', some of them could be called up for Sunday's meeting.
