Xavi offers Pedri advice on Olympics

Barcelona midfielder Pedri was named in the Spain squad for the Tokyo Olympics this week which was followed by swift reports that the Catalan giants are not too keen on the idea of the youngster playing at the tournament.

Pedri has swerved the issue in a recent interview, while reports suggest the RFEF have no intention of leaving the teenager behind when the squad flies out to Japan shortly.

Club legend Xavi Hernandez, who won a silver medal with Spain at the 2000 Olympics, has now offered his thoughts on the subject and thinks Pedri should definitely go and play in the tournament.
