Pedri is on a strict diet to prevent himself from the injuries.
He said he tries to eat much better and healthier and continue a diet but the saddest part of his diet is having to ditch his mother's croquettes.
"I am more focused. My mother's croquettes which I liked a lot, I can't eat anymore. They are one of the things that makes me most sad that I can't eat them", he said in an interview.
