Koeman confirms 2-week rest for Pedri after Athletic clash

 After almost 75 games of no rest for Pedri, Barcelona boss Koeman has confirmed the youngster will be given two weeks break.

"It is true that from tomorrow, he will rest for 2 weeks," Ronald Koeman has told the pre-Athletic Bilbao press conference of Pedri.

"I’ve spoken with Luis Enrique and it is their decision [to call him for the Spain national team games in September] — but we [the club] will give some rest to Pedri because he needs it."

Thus, the 18-year-old will miss Barcelona's clash with Getafe on August 29 after featuring against Athletic on Saturday. Then Pedri will join La Roja for their World Cup qualifiers against Sweden, Georgia and Kosovo.
