Hansi Flick talks Pedri’s fitness, Marc-André ter Stegen’s exit, and Roony Bardghji ahead of Slavia Prague clash

As the anticipation builds for the upcoming clash against Slavia Prague in the UEFA Champions League, Hansi Flick, the head coach, addressed several key topics that are currently the talk of the soccer world. In a recent press conference, Flick provided insights into the team's preparation and addressed the fitness of Pedri, the implications of Marc-André ter Stegen's departure, and the burgeoning talent of Roony Bardghji.

Pedri's Fitness Status

One of the pressing concerns for fans and management alike is the fitness of Pedri. The young midfielder has been pivotal in orchestrating the team's play, and his absence due to injury has been keenly felt. Flick, however, brought some optimism, stating, "Pedri is making excellent progress in his recovery. He has been training with the team and is eager to return to the pitch. We are assessing him daily, and there is a good chance he will feature in the upcoming match."

Marc-André ter Stegen's Exit

The soccer world was jolted by the news of Marc-André ter Stegen's decision to leave the club. Flick acknowledged the impact of Ter Stegen's departure, both on and off the field. "Marc-André has been a cornerstone of our defense for many years. His decision to move on was unexpected, but we respect his choice. It opens the door for other talented goalkeepers in our squad to step up and prove themselves," Flick commented.

The Rise of Roony Bardghji

Amidst these challenges, the emergence of young talent Roony Bardghji offers a silver lining. The teenage sensation has been turning heads with his performances in the domestic league, and Flick was full of praise for the young forward. "Roony has shown immense potential and maturity beyond his years. He has a natural flair and is not afraid to take risks on the field. We believe he can be a valuable asset for us, not just in this match but in the future as well," Flick remarked.

As the team gears up to face Slavia Prague, Flick remains confident in his squad's ability to deliver under pressure. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both teams eager to secure vital points in the group stage. Fans will be watching closely to see how these developments unfold on the pitch.
