One of FC Barcelona’s midfield players could miss tonight’s match against Valencia.
This evening, FC Barcelona faces Valencia as part of the 21st day of La Liga. With the exception of Inigo Martínez, who was injured in the Super Cup final against Real Madrid, and Dani Olmo, who suffered an injury in the last match against Getafe, the team was able to train normally. However, one player was declared doubtful for this meeting.
Pedri is sick
A few hours before the match, Pedri announced that he would not be able to play this Sunday evening due to illness, as reported by Mundo Deportivo. The midfielder is suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, which could cause him to miss the crucial match against Valencia, where FC Barcelona are 10 points behind leaders Real Madrid before kick-off. Pedri’s presence on the pitch would be essential given his current form, so his absence would be a big blow for the team. However, Hansi Flick has several alternatives in his squad.
Luxury replacements
Flick can count on Fermin López, who had an excellent performance in the Champions League match against Benfica. De Jong has also gradually regained his level, as indicated by his good performances against Real Betis and his entry against Benfica. Furthermore, Flick also has Pablo Torre as an alternative to replace Pedri.
