Barcelona star Pedri ruled out with torn hamstring injury   

The 19-year-old midfielder has suffered a second hamstring injury of the season and will likely be missing for several weeks

Barcelona have confirmed midfielder Pedri suffered a torn hamstring during his side's Europa League defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday.

The Spain international had to be substituted in the second-half of the quarter-final second leg and was replaced by Frenkie de Jong.

Barca coach Xavi admitted after the game that there was "very bad news" around the latest fitness issue for the 19-year-old and the club has since confirmed that he will be ruled out for the time being.
