Robert Lewandowski has returned from the Polish national team injured and will miss El Clasico on October 26.
The forward suffered a torn biceps femoris muscle in his left leg and the injury occurred in the first half of the World Cup qualifier in Lithuania, which Poland won 2-0. However, Lewandowski played the entire 90 minutes!
For the coach Hansi Flick and for the leaders of Barcelona, unacceptable! Journalist David Ibáñez revealed on the website “ElDesmarque” that in the offices of the club's bosses, the tension reached its maximum.
Barcelona leaders are furious with Robert Lewandowski
“There is anger about Lewandowski and his recent injury. He played the whole game despite the pain and even with a bandage. In the management's opinion, Lewandowski should have retired earlier to avoid the risk of injury“, explained Ibáñez
AS also reported on Barcelona's anger towards Lewandowski. The newspaper published the statement of one of the officials of the Blaugrana group: “It is incomprehensible how a player with Lewandowski's experience, who knows his body like the back of his hand, did not realize that the discomfort he felt in the first minutes of the match between Poland and Lithuania could turn into something serious.” Such an attitude is “careless and inexplicable.”
Poland coach Jan Urban: “It's true that Lewandowski felt something”
Even Poland coach Jan Urban claims he doesn't understand Lewa's injury. “I know that if a muscle tear occurs, it prevents you from running at high speed and it is impossible for you to play. And everyone involved in football knows that. I don't understand anymore,” Urban told the daily Mundo Deportivo.
At the same time, he admitted that he had been informed about Lewandowski's muscle discomfort at half-time: “Yes, it's true that he felt something and we reached an agreement with him and the doctor that if he gets worse, he will ask to be substituted. But he lasted without problems until the end of the match.”
Barcelona, decimated by injuries
In addition to the league game against Girona and the Champions League clash with Olympiakos, Lewandowski will also miss the Clasico against Real Madrid on October 26 at the Bernabéu Stadium and possibly a few other games as well.
Barcelona still have Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Gavi unavailable for the long term, while Joan Garcia, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Ferran Torres are currently uncertain.
