With the end of the major international tournaments, FC Barcelona are beginning to regain their key players one by one.
New manager Hansi Flick, who has already commenced pre-season training, is gradually getting familiarized with his new crop of players.
And today the German manager crossed paths with Pedri and Ronald Araujo. The pair are presently recovering from injuries they sustained with their national team but appeared during today’s session to have a chat with their new coach.
Flick lends his support
Barcelona shared a heartwarming video on social media showing Hansi Flick warmly embracing Araujo and Pedri at the Ciutat Esportiva.
Flick expressed his well wishes for their speedy recovery, and both players thanked him for his kind gesture. They exchanged smiles as Flick lightened the mood with a few jokes, creating a positive atmosphere.

The German is renowned for his excellent man-management and his encounter with both Pedri and Araujo illustrates his ability to foster a supportive and encouraging environment within the team.
When will both Pedri and Araujo return to action?
Barça confirmed in a medical update on Tuesday that Pedri has a sprained internal left knee, but did not provide a timeline for his recovery.
Meanwhile, Araujo is set to undergo surgery in Finland, overseen by Dr. Lasse Lempainen, to address his hamstring tendon injury in the right thigh.
In any case, it is anticipated that Flick will have Pedri at his disposal before Barcelona’s La Liga campaign gets underway against Valencia on the 17th of August.
Since Araujo is set to undergo surgery, his return will take more time as he is foreseen to make his comeback by December this year.
