Football/ Barcelona faces injury crisis ahead of crucial matches: Lewandowski latest concern
With key injuries mounting, Barcelona faces a critical period ahead. Lamine Yamal has already been sidelined, and now there are concerns over Robert Lewandowski after the Polish striker picked up a knock during Tuesday’s Nations League match against Croatia.
Lewandowski, who started on the bench due to a minor injury sustained in the warm-up, entered the game in the 62nd minute but was soon caught by a brutal knee-high tackle from Dominik Livaković, resulting in a red card for the Croatian goalkeeper.
Lewandowski was seen limping as he left the stadium, though he reassured reporters that “his leg is fine.” Despite his optimistic words, Barcelona will be holding their breath. With Sevilla coming up in La Liga on Sunday, followed by a crucial Champions League tie against Bayern Munich on October 23 and the Clasico showdown at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid on October 26, the club can ill afford more injury woes.
The availability of players like Lewandowski could be decisive as Barcelona navigates these high-stakes matches.
