BARCELONA, Spain – Barcelona midfielder Pedri Gonzalez will be sidelined for an unspecified period after an injury during a loss to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, the Spanish club said.
The 19-year-old Pedri tore the femoral biceps in his left hamstring during the 3-2 home defeat Thursday in the second leg of the quarter-finals that saw Barcelona knocked out of the competition. He was substituted at half-time.
Pedri had already been unavailable from late August to mid-January because of a leg injury.
Pedri played 74 games for Barcelona and Spain last season, according to AP.
Barcelona enters the weekend in second place in the Spanish league, 12 points behind runaway leader Real Madrid. It plays Cadiz on Monday.
