Barcelona midfielders De Jong and Pedri injured a week before Champions League match

Barcelona’s midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will miss upcoming matches because of injuries sustained this weekend, Barcelona said on Monday.

In Sunday’s goalless draw against Athletic Bilbao, Dutch international De Jong had a lateral ligament sprain in his right ankle, while Spaniard Pedri sustained a fresh injury to his right hamstring. Barcelona said their “recovery will determine” their availability and did not specify how long they will be sidelined.
