According to Diario AS, the 29-year-old has muscular soreness and is a “severe doubt” for the encounter after missing training on Thursday to work on his recuperation.

Pedri and Ansu Fati, who are both scheduled to miss Saturday’s game, joined Roberto in the gym at the Ciutat Esportiva.

Due to a thigh injury, Pedri will not return until after the international break, while Ansu is experiencing knee discomfort and Barca will not take any chances.

The injury to the teenager is not considered serious, but the club will not rush him back, even though he is anticipated to be fit to play for Spain during the international break if called up.

Barca will be led by Sergi Barjuan on Saturday, and he will have his job cut out for him after successive defeats to Real Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.

Meanwhile…

Following Ronald Koeman’s dismissal, Miralem Pjanic was forced to clarify a tweet.

Pjanic and Koeman did not get along well, and the midfielder has since spoken out against the Dutchman.

Despite coming on a substantially inflated – and somewhat controversial – deal that saw Arthur Melo go the other way, the Bosnian did not get a lot of game time for Barca in 2020.

Pjanic joined Besiktas on loan this summer after a terrible tenure at Camp Nou, at least so far.
