Barcelona will be without Pedri for Sunday’s match against Valencia at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys. The Canary Islands midfielder is suffering from gastroenteritis, forcing him to withdraw from the squad at the last minute.

Barça coach Hansi Flick will also be missing key players such as Dani Olmo, Iñigo Martínez, Marc-André ter Stegen, and Marc Bernal, all sidelined due to injury. These absences further complicate the team's situation as they continue their battle in LaLiga EA Sports.

Despite these setbacks, Barcelona will still have players like Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, Frenkie de Jong, and Ronald Araújo, who will aim to lead the team in a crucial match against Valencia. Young talents such as Héctor Fort and Gerard Martín are also included in the squad and could see playing time in this fixture.

Barcelona comes into this match needing three points to stay in contention for the top spots, while Valencia will look to spring a surprise and climb the standings.

Given the circumstances, Flick will have to adjust his lineup to compensate for the absences and maintain the team's balance. Barça faces another challenge without Pedri, hoping their key players step up for this tough encounter.
