Pedri unlikely to start v PSG — Xavi's choice in midfield revealed

Marca report that Pedri will likely start on the bench against PSG on Tuesday. That's because Xavi is cautious with him, considering the midfielder's injury history.

Sergi Roberto and Andreas Christensen are suspended, which leaves the manager with very few options for a third midfielder alongside Frenkie de Jong and Ilkay Gundogan.

Fermin is likely to start, with Pedri coming off the bench in the second half of the game.

Barca face PSG at home in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final tie on Tuesday. The first leg ended in a 3-2 victory for the Catalans.

Pedri has missed over four months with injuries this season alone.
