There is no longer an objective in the form of a specific match or date for his return; Your sensations and that of the doctors will prevail without any haste

Both Ousmane and Pedri are crazy to return, but the precedents ask for patience

We learn from mistakes. And the relapse of Pedri González has raised the levels of prudence to the maximum in the medical services of FC Barcelona. The man from Tenerife, who returned to the group dynamics in view of the league classic on the 19th, fell again from the injury to the rectus femoris of the right thigh that he had suffered against Manchester United at the Camp Nou.

He did not suffer a relapse, but he did did not find good sensations Ousmane Dembélé that same week before Barça-Madrid. The Frenchman, who fell injured against Girona in Montilivi in ​​the rectus femoris of the left thigh. In his case (and given the precedents) the slogan was clear: prudence. Of course, it was inevitable that the dates on his return were ‘planned’ by the environment. There were even those who came to report that he could be there for the Cup classic at the Bernabéu.

Crazy, since in no case was the man from Évreaux going to be out for less than five or six weeks. After that, San Mamés and Barça-Madrid in the League were the next dates on the horizon. Then the cup return next week also against the eternal rival. But the truth is that Pedri’s relapse has eliminated any objective in the form of a specific date in the case of both Tegueste and the Frenchman or party for your return.

‘STOP THE MOMENTUM’

It should be remembered that Ousmane had just gone 14 months without being out due to injury. An incredible run that confirmed the good work of the player and the physical trainers after a few first seasons at Barça full of misfortunes and muscular problems. Despite the fact that from his surroundings they still have not ruled him out for that ‘match ball’ on the 5th against Madrid, logic says that nothing will be forced or rushed and that both his feelings and those of the doctors will prevail at all times.

In addition, the fact that it cannot be shot before at a competitive level (the duel against Elche next Saturday is, by all accounts, very premature) Nor does it help to anticipate a return within a week. The calendar dictates that after the Copa del Rey ‘final’ it will be the turn of Barça-Girona on Matchday 28 (Easter Monday, April 10), Getafe-Barça on 04/15 at the Coliséum and Barça-Atlético April 23th.

WORKING PENDING A FORMAL MEETING FOR YOUR RENEWAL

Ousmane is going to the Ciutat Esportiva practically every day during this break, even when Xavi has given rest. The objective is to return as soon as possible, but the precautionary measure is very clear.

While the ‘Mosquito’ works to gain time on the clock, a formal meeting is still scheduled between his agents and the sports leadership to approach positions for his renewal. Without haste, but without any desire to prolong it too much.
