Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has hinted at the possibility of resting one of his key players ahead of this weekend’s La Liga clash with Osasuna.

Fresh off a hard-fought Champions League victory over Benfica in midweek, the Blaugrana now turn their attention back to domestic matters. The Osasuna fixture comes sandwiched between both legs of their European tie, meaning rotation could be on the cards.

With reports emerging over the last 24 hours suggesting that some of Barça’s most crucial players could be given a well-earned break, Flick was asked directly about the possibility of Pedri sitting out on Saturday.

His response?

“We’ll see if it’s time for Pedri to rest. He’s very professional. He recovers well and trains at the highest level.”

The German tactician’s words suggest that a final decision will be made closer to kickoff, but with a demanding schedule ahead, Pedri’s workload is clearly under consideration.
