The Catalan newspaper "Sport" confirmed that Pedri will not catch the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, and also set the earliest date for his return again to coach Xavi Hernandez's battalion.
Pedri has been absent from Barcelona since last August due to a hamstring injury, and the fans of the "Blaugrana" wished himself to return again to the stadiums against Real Madrid next Saturday in the eleventh round of the Spanish league.
But according to "Sport", all Pedri can do in the current period is try to engage in group training during this week, but his participation in the Clásico has become almost impossible.
As for the date of the return of the Spanish international back to games, it will be at best against Real Sociedad on November 4, and may be postponed even further if it is confirmed that he does not recover completely for fear of a new setback that will keep him out of action for a longer period.
It is noteworthy that Barcelona before the Clásico faces a number of absences alongside Pedri represented by central defender Jules Conde and captain Sergi Roberto, while the position of the duo Robert Lewandowski and Rafinha remains unknown due to injuries.
