Barcelona midfielder Pedri has taken a step closer to a comeback by returning to training with the group on Wednesday.

Pedri was able to take part of some of the session with his team-mates as Hansi Flick’s side continue preparations for their La Liga opener against Valencia on Saturday.

The midfielder has been sidelined since suffering a knee injury while playing for Spain at Euro 2024 but is closing in on a return to action.

Pedri’s return will be warmly welcomed by Flick who will start the season without Gavi and Frenkie de Jong, who both remain injured, and Fermin Lopez.
