Before the Start of La Liga: Barcelona Receives a Pleasant Surprise

Hans Flick, coach of Barcelona, received a pleasant surprise before the team's journey in the new season of La Liga begins. Barcelona will start its season next Saturday with a match against Valencia in the first round of La Liga. The Catalan newspaper "Sport" confirmed that Pedri, Barcelona's midfielder, is very close to returning to play. The report added that Pedri participated in team training on Thursday and is ready to play against Valencia. However, his return will be postponed until the match against Athletic Bilbao in the second round. Meanwhile, the Spanish newspaper "AS" reported that Pedri has recovered from his injury in record time and will be included in Barcelona's lineup against Valencia. Pedri was injured during Spain's match against Germany in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 in early July, following a harsh tackle from former Real Madrid star Toni Kroos.
