The Barcelona star will return to the starting eleven against Osasuna

La Liga heavyweight Barcelona’s leading midfielder is expected to be reinstated in the club’s starting XI for their upcoming clash with Osasuna.

Barca are of course prepared to return to action tomorrow evening.

Fresh off a flawless start to the campaign, Hansi Flick’s troops head to El Sadar for a La Liga clash with the aforementioned Osasuna.

The Blaugrana will go into Saturday’s game knowing that if they manage to pick up eight of eight wins and start the season in Spain’s top division, they will provisionally gain a seven-point advantage over arch rivals Real Madrid.

And in order to achieve exactly the same, one significant change is expected in the configuration of Barcelona’s engine room.

According to the report from Sports journalHansi Flick and his coaching staff plan to reintroduce Pedri into the club’s starting eleven on Saturday.

Spain international Pedri has been on the bench since the beginning of the week and was given some much-needed rest on the way to a tight match against Getafe.

However, at El Sadar, the 21-year-old will return to the lineup from the start of the match, probably in place of Eric García or Marc Casadó.
