Pedro Rodríguez has no intention of returning to Barcelona despite Chelsea's current woes. His mind is set on sticking with his new club where he has a five-year contract, having put his 'Azulgranas' days firmly behind him.

The Spanish player is well aware that the status quo at Barcelona remains the same and that once Lionel Messi is back in the fray -the Argentine is expected to return for the 'Clásico' on 21st November- there will be no room for another striker. The very situation that prompted his move away two months ago.

Some reports have begun to circulate in the past few hours claiming Pedro has confided in Cesc Fàbregas to say that a return could be on the cards. The Canary Islander considered making a public statement to deny the rumour but decided not to in the end.

Pedro is standing by the decision he has made and, at present, has no cause for regret, despite logical concern over Chelsea's poor run of form.
