Gerard Pique is fully focused on recovering from injury in time for the start of Barcelona's pre-season following the news of his split with singer Shakira.
Pique and Shakira announced their separation earlier on Saturday as the Colombian singer, 45, confirmed that she is no longer with the defender following an 11-year relationship and two children together. A statement read: "We regret to confirm that we are parting ways. For the well-being of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy. Thank you for your understanding."
In the wake of the news, it has been reported that Pique hopes to return to full fitness in time for pre-season in July as he continues his rehabilitation from the injury that ended his season early, according to Mundo Deportivo. Pique, who remains under contract at the Nou Camp until the summer of 2024, missed the final weeks of the season after suffering a thigh injury against Mallorca.
