Pedri seems to be recovering quicker than Frenkie De Jong despite both players suffering injuries on the same day. It's the Spanish midfielder who was seen training hard all smiling on Thursday whereas the Dutchman is nowhere to be seen.
With Pedri tipped to be back fit for the game against PSG in the Champions League barely two weeks from now, it raises a question about De Jong.
According to the reliable Toni Juanmarti, De Jong is also expected to return for that PSG game as Xavi and the club expect.
However, just like Pedri, De Jong will not be in contention to start that game even if he's fit enough to make the squad.
De Jong suffered a painful ankle injury in Barca's 0-0 draw against Bilbao in early March. He was expected to be out for 4-6 weeks. If he follows that recovery timeline he should play the PSG game without problems.
