Barcelona fans delight over Pedri and Lamine Yamal international rest break

Barcelona fans on social media were delighted by two injury free international breaks for Pedri and Lamine Yamal.

La Roja were held to a 0-0 draw in their opening UEFA Nations League game, in Serbia on September 5, as Lamine Yamal completed 90 minutes, and Pedri came on for the final 15.

Luis de la Fuente opted to reshuffle his team for the trip to Switzerland with both players starting in Geneva.

Lamine Yamal continued his brilliant start to the season with a superb assist for Joselu’s early opener.

However, as part of a chaotic first half, Pedri was then substituted after just 28 minutes, following a shock straight red card for Robin Le Normand, and Lamine Yamal was withdrawn by de la Fuente at half time.

 

 

Both calls by de la Fuente were praised by La Blaugrana supporters who want the pair back in Catalonia in full health ahead of a La Liga derby trip to Girona on September 15.
