FC Barcelona have been without their key midfielder Pedri for the past four games as the Spaniard is sidelined with a hamstring injury.
The 23-year-old superstar suffered an injury against Slavia Prague in the Champions League, which was a blow to the Catalans.

Despite his absence, Barca came through strongly, winning all four games since then but Hansi Flick and his team. The return of the midfield ace is eagerly awaited.

He will also be unavailable against Mallorca this weekend and is unlikely to be eager to feature in the La Liga match against Girona on February 16.
This also means that Pedri will miss the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals scheduled to be held in the middle of next week.
As it stands, the idea is for the Spain international to return against Levante – a game in which Barca could also welcome 62,000 fans to the Camp Nou.
So far this season, Pedri has played 25 games in all competitions, scoring 2 goals and assisting 8 times. His return will be a huge boost for Barcelona to continue challenging on all fronts.
At the same time, Pedri’s close friend Garvey is also about to return and is expected to return to group training in the next few weeks.
