Pedri begins specialized training program at FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona midfielder Pedri has begun a specialized individual training program to improve his physical condition ahead of the upcoming season. The 23-year-old is working through a personalized regimen designed by the club’s new first-team fitness coach, Benjamin Kugel, to ensure he reaches peak fitness for the long campaign.

Following a period of fluctuating performance and physical challenges in the previous season, the club has opted for a gradual approach. Pedri has been training solo at the Ciutat Esportiva, focusing on gym sessions and on-pitch drills with the ball, rather than participating in full group sessions or traveling for friendly matches.

Manager Hansi Flick has emphasized the importance of the player being at full strength. The objective is to avoid the physical risks experienced in the past and to ensure the midfielder is prepared for major competitions, aiming for peak form by the spring.
