FC Barcelona played against Athletic the other day in a very intense match at San Mamés that ended with a 0-0 draw. But the sad thing for the Catalan club was not so much not winning the match and taking advantage of Madrid's failure, but rather the two injuries they had in the middle of the first half, which forced Xavi to change Pedri and De Jong. The club has reported that these are serious injuries, and that the evolution of the players will mark their return to the field of play.

What injury do Pedri and Frenkie de Jong have?
In this case, Pedri has an injury to the rectus femoris of his right leg, the same injury that has stopped him for many games this season.
And on the other hand, the young Dutchman, Frenkie de Jong, suffers a sprain on the external side of his right ankle. The midfielder's second injury so far this season, and it comes at a critical moment in the season, which makes it very difficult for Barça regarding its future.
How long will they be out?
The club is aware that these are two serious injuries, but in the official statement no stipulated dates have been decreed, and it is left to the evolution of the players themselves when and how they will return. Also, the club's pressing need at the moment, with three of the four starting midfielders injured, may increase the need for their return.

Both players know that there is a lot at stake, like the Champions League match that they are going to miss. But looking further into the future, Pedri is aware that his injury is going to be long-term and the only thing he hopes for and it is assumed that he will be able to play is the European Championship with Spain.
De Jong, for his part, aspires to be with his team sooner, and at the end of March there is a national team break that the player hopes to take advantage of to complete his recovery and be with the team next month.
