The head coach of the "Barcelona" club, Hansi Flick, commented before the match against "Elche" on the expected return of Joano Garcia, Pedri's injury, and stated that he protects Lamine Yamal from criticism:

"J. Garcia is training well now and is on the right path for his return.

But we must not rush it, as everything is going smoothly. Let him recover."

"Pedri's injury surprised us. After the 'El Clasico' match, he had only slight discomfort... but then we saw his situation and realized that the injury is serious.

We are missing one of the most important players of the Catalan team. We hope that the midfielder will be able to return to action very soon."

"Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo have returned to the lineup. This is great news for us."

"L. Yamali is doing fine, although he felt some discomfort for a few days.

The most important thing is that he is handling it well.

I spoke with L. Yamali. I will always defend the Spaniard and help him because he is a young and fantastic guy... so we will continue to work in the same way."

22-year-old Pedri will not play due to injury until the end of November.

This season, he has scored 2 goals in 13 matches.
