Pedri played a total of 75 games in the 2020/21 season. Playing at such a high intensity took its toll on the midfielder, causing him to suffer numerous injuries over the next three seasons.

Thanks to changes in Barcelona's training regime and the care of the medical team, Pedri has gradually overcome his physical problems. However, according to Relevo , the Barcelona coaching staff is still vigilant and does not want Pedri to be overloaded like four years ago.

This season, the Spanish player has shown excellent form. He is considered to have an influence no less than Lamine Yamal in the Barcelona squad. Thanks to his convincing performance, Pedri is on the list of candidates for the Golden Ball award.

With 4,660 minutes played, it is likely that Pedri will surpass the 5,000-minute mark this season. Coach Hansi Flick will have to keep a close eye on Pedri's fitness for the rest of the season, as Barcelona are still competing for the La Liga title with Real Madrid.

On May 11, Barcelona will have a Clasico match with Real Madrid in La Liga at home.
