Midfielder Pedro González was ruled out this Friday to play in the Spanish football classic Barcelona-Real Madrid, which will take place next Sunday in Barcelona.
Pedri, as he is known in the football world, left training due to discomfort in his right thigh.
It should be recalled that the 20-year-old is in the final stages of his recovery after injuring the rectus muscle of his right thigh over a month ago, however, following today's accident, a return to action is imminent. Your arrival will have to wait.
This defeat is extremely sensitive for coach Xavi Hernández, because he is the most talked about player in the Barcelona midfield, the manager of game time.
Barcelona, ??without Pedri, will go to the Classics with first place in the Spanish league, with 65 points, nine points more than the team ranked below Real Madrid. A win for the Catalans at Camp Nou would see the tournament as a verdict, while a win for meringues would be pure dynamite for the final stage of the domestic tournament.
In all three encounters this season, Madrid have won the first round of the League, while Barcelona won the final of the Spanish Super Cup and the semi-final first leg of the Copa del Rey.

According to CalcioMercato, Tottenham Hotspur are leading the race for talented Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat despite interest from Spanish giants Barcelona.
The Moroccan special midfielder missed out on a move to Barcelona in January when the two clubs were unable to agree on the terms of the deal, but now it looks like Spurs have the lead. .
Amrabat was a relatively unknown name before the World Cup in Qatar. However, his performance at the showcase event made the Moroccan one of the most sought-after players in the world.
Obviously, Barcelona are still interested in this player and have not given up on this opportunity. However, a move to the Premier League is exciting for the player and that's why Tottenham have gained the edge.
Amrabat certainly showed off his World Cup credentials. There is no doubt about his ability to compete at the highest level. He makes a very interesting option for Tottenham but at this stage he may not be what we need.
This is mainly related to the type of game that Amrabat plays. The Moroccan is deep in midfield, sometimes almost like a centre-back. His job is to monitor the defence and make sure he stops attacks and distributes the ball forward.
Tottenham Hotspur overtakes Barcelona in the Sofyan Amrabat race.
Do we really need Amrabat?
Tottenham have enough record in their squad to do that. Pierre Emile Hojbjerg is one of the best in this regard and he is doing a commendable job at the club. The likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Oliver Skipp and Pape Matar-Sarr can all play that role to varying degrees.
What we really need is a creative presence, someone who can contribute in terms of goals, assists and connects the aforementioned players with the dynamic attack that we have. Amrabat is not that player.

Therefore, unless the Moroccans are available at an unbelievable price to refuse, we should not seek to execute this deal. Let's see what we ultimately decide.
