Ferran Correas of SPORT says that Pedri, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski, three important players for Barcelona, should be ready to play Real Madrid later this month. This is good news.
A lot of important Barcelona players have been hurt over the last few weeks, which has not been good for the team.
Since August, Pedri has been out, and over the last few weeks, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, and Lewandowski have joined him.
Jules Kounde also got hurt last night against Granada, and Lamine Yamal had to leave the game early because he was hurt.
The Catalans are very worried because they have big games coming up against Athletic Club, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Real Madrid in the next week after the international break.
Some good news about injuries
According to the report from Ferran Correas, however, problems should get better over the next couple of weeks.
In fact, the reporter is saying that Pedri will get his medical clearance right after the international break. This means that he might be able to play in the Clasico on October 28 as well as the games against Athletic Club and Shakhtar before that.
Some stories said that Lewandowski might not be able to make it in time for the game against Real Madrid, but Ferran Correas says that both he and Raphinha should be ready for the big game.
De Jong, on the other hand, is not likely to play in the game.
Hope with Kounde and Yamal
As we already said, Barcelona is also hopeful about Kounde’s return because the French player only seems to have sprained his left knee.
But we won’t have a better picture until he goes through more tests today in Barcelona.
Yamal is in the same situation, though his problem is thought to be not very serious. Depending on how the tests go, he may or may not go to Spain to play.
