Club Brugge plays a big match against FC Barcelona next week. But Pedri will not be part of it in Venetië van het Noorden. He is out of action for the match, but of course, more good players will come to Jan Breydel. This is what makes the charm of the calendar: a week after the encounter with Eendracht Aalst in the Cup, FC Barcelona visits the Jan Breydel stadium. Despite their defeat against Real Madrid, the Catalans remain extremely dangerous: their last match on the European stage ended in a resounding victory against Olympiakos with a 6-1 win. But this time, Hansi Flick cannot count on Pedri. Barca has confirmed this in an official statement: their player suffers from a tear in the distal biceps femoris of his left thigh, sustained during the Clasico. Pedri will therefore be absent for the match against Club Brugge. A heavy blow for the Catalans given the importance of their playmaker, who incidentally took over the captain's armband against Olympiakos and is still the only player who has started all matches this season. On the other hand, Barcelona may be able to welcome back Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo. Both men were absent for several weeks, but have resumed group training today. Manuel Gonzalez reports that the date of Pedri's return depends on how quickly he recovers. Club Brugge's coach, Scott Parker, will undoubtedly take into account Pedri's absence when preparing for the match. The question is whether Club Brugge will get a chance to win because of this. The answer will become clear next week. Club Brugge's fans are eagerly awaiting the match, hoping that their team can take advantage of Pedri's absence. The match promises to be exciting, with both teams having a lot to prove. FC Barcelona will do everything to win, but Club Brugge will not make it easy for them.
