Barcelona relief as Pedri fine after X-rated Georgia tackle

Early indications are that Barcelona whiz Pedri is fine after Spain's World Cup qualifying defeat of Georgia.

Marca says Pedri earned his opportunity to prove himself for Spain on Sunday in the win over Georgia, but he was on the receiving end of a horrific challenge.

The Barcelona teenager played the full match and, just when the game was coming to a close, he suffered a brutal tackle from Levan Shengelia in injury time.

The Georgian received a straight red card in what was a release of frustration from the hosts after surrendering their lead.

Barcelona and everyone associated with the club will have been concerned to see their young star come in for such a harsh challenge, but it seems that Pedri is now fine.
