Barcelona midfielder Pedri is grateful knee injury was not prolonged

Barcelona midfielder Pedri is happy to be back in good health. Back with Barca this week, Pedri suffered a knee strain during the 2024 Euros. He recalled: “When I felt the pain in my knee I was scared  because I had also seen what happened to Gavi. I have had several injuries, they are very hard times and thank God I have been lucky. It was a small thing compared to what could have been and now we are perfect. “Did it cost me my vacation? Yes, especially during the vacation I had to work hard, I had to recover well to try to get to that first game and finally I did it. A lot of work with physiotherapy, physical preparation… But hey, that’s what I did. During the vacation I worked hard and I had to recover well to be able to play the first championship game.” On Spain winning the Euros, Pedri added: “In addition to being a dream for every Spaniard, for me, who is still at the beginning of my career, it means a lot of motivation for what is to come, a lot of confidence and above all a dream come true. You are always the same person, but it is true that it gives you a lot of confidence. “There are many players who retire and fail to win and I think that is a source of pride. We are also the team that has the most and this is felt in Spain.”

liverpool midfielder mac allister injures in argentina training

Liverpool midfielder Mac Allister injures in Argentina training

Liverpool got an injury  concern during the international break as Alexis Mac Allister suffered a setback while training on international duty. New head coach Arne Slot has had a great start to the season after winning three of his club’s opening matches and not conceding any goals.  Slot has also enjoyed the prowess of Argentina player Mac Allister, who has played for every game of the term so far. However, it seems Slot must now find a replacement for the midfielder after he was injured in training ahead of Argentina’s World Cup qualifier with Chile on Friday.  Manager Lionel Scaloni told TyC Sports that they are observing his progress. “Alexis didn’t train because he was overloaded, he was in pain. It always happens to us, they come out to do their part.  “We’ll wait and see how he responds today. It doesn’t change our way of playing much because we’ll stay the same, but it’s true that he gives us play, set pieces. The rest of the team is more or less decided.”  Argentina will play against Chile on Friday before visiting Colombia on Tuesday, whilst Liverpool will face Nottingham Forest on Saturday at the EPL, which may give Mac Allister enough time to recover.  If he does not, Liverpool have some talented replacements on the bench, including Harvey Elliott, Curtis Jones and Federico Chiesa who could make his debut for the club.

Football Predictions Today: Real Madrid VS Betis Sure Tips

The 2024-25 La Liga Week 3 action will come to an end with a Real Madrid VS Betis matchup happening tonight.   You can get Todays football Tips, picks, and odds for Real Madrid VS Betis on MatchPlug. We are the Best Prediction site for previews and tips for all La Liga games. Predictions and Betting Preview For Real Madrid VS Betis  Odds provided by 1XBet Betting On Real Madrid Real Madrid entered this match on the back of two draws in a row, with the latest one being between them and Las Palmas at 1-1. Despite not facing defeat, they are inefficient in the final third and face defensive issues which stopped them from scoring up to three points in recent games. With a record of seven goals scored and just two conceded so far this season, Madrid shows hope of a good offence, but needs more consistency.  Madrid will want to leverage home advantage at the Santiago Bernabéu, looking to dominate Real Betis; a club known to lose at this venue. With Vinícius Júnior leading the attack, Ancelotti expects a powerful performance from the club.  Betting On Betis  Real Betis enter this clash at the Santiago Bernabéu after winning the Conference League against Kryvbas, ensuring their spot in the group stage. But, in La Liga, Real have had a small start to the term with two draws in two matches, the latest one ending in 0-0 against Alavés. While Betis had a solid performance, conceding only once so far this season, they lacked the necessary touch to win in the La Liga.  MatchPlug Prediction For Real Madrid VS Betis  With just two points and a match in hand, Betis must start winning outrightly if they want to remain in the European spots. They have not had a good recent record against Real Madrid, failing to beat them in their last five meetings. Nevertheless, Pellegrini trusts Betis to deliver a win in a challenging fixture.  Final Prediction: Real Madrid Moneyline.
