FC Barcelona have received a significant fitness boost as they prepare for the return of three key players following the November international break.
Barcelona's growing injury list has taken another major hit, with midfielder Pedri Gonzalez ruled out for several weeks after suffering a muscle tear in his left hamstring during the 2–1 defeat to Real Madrid last weekend.
Barcelona have clinched the La Liga title, and at the heart of their triumph was the sensational Pedri.
Former Real Madrid and Germany international Toni Kroos has identified FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri as the club's most vital player, placing him above high-profile teammates Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha.
Pedri has recently signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2030 and this Friday, he declared that he is experiencing his best season as a Blaugrana, though he knows that the true test lies in securing titles.
Barcelona's sporting director Deco has successfully secured contract renewals for both Ronald Araujo and Pedri, extending their commitments to the club until 2030.
