Barca's Pedri misses Valencia game due to illness

Barcelona will face Valencia this Sunday without Pedri, who will miss the game due to gastroenteritis. The player's absence is a major blow for Hansi Flick's side, who are looking to close the gap on Madrid and Atletico in La Liga.
The midfielder from the Canary Islands, a key player in the team's scheme, has not been able to recover in time for the match in Montjuic. Pedri's absence adds to the complications that Barcelona have been experiencing in recent weeks, marked by irregular results in La Liga.
The German coach will have to rebuild his starting eleven, looking for alternatives to make up for the player's absence.
Meanwhile, Valencia go into the game hoping to take advantage of this circumstance and get a positive result. The match, scheduled for this Sunday at 21:00 CET, will be a crucial moment to define the aspirations of both teams this season.
