The midfielder has been in the gym this week

Barcelona manager Xavi has confirmed that midfielder Pedri is fit and available for Monday’s clash with Valencia in La Liga.


Pedri has trained away from his team-mates in the gym this week, but Xavi told his pre-match press conference that he is set to feature.


“He will be on the list, 100% to help the team. He is available,” he told reporters.


Xavi has decisions to make in midfield as Frenkie de Jong will miss the game after sustaining an ankle injury that’s expected to keep him out of the last six matches.


Pedri looks set to return to the starting XI and line up alongside Frenkie de Jong and Andreas Christensen for the clash at Mestalla.


Xavi does also have Fermin Lopez and Sergi Roberto available, and both will also be hoping for minutes on Monday night when Barca return to La Liga action for the first time since Xavi confirmed he’d be staying.
