Barcelona received a painful blow before the start of its career in the new season, after it was confirmed that its Polish striker Robert Lewandowski was absent for at least three weeks, as a result of a muscle injury in the left back thigh, which deprives him of participating in a number of important matches.
Lewandowski injury and the details of the absence period
Barcelona announced through its official accounts that the medical examinations that Lewandowski underwent revealed a muscle injury that requires a period of recovery of no less than three weeks, which means his absence from the team’s start in the Spanish League, along with some friendly and official meetings at the beginning of the season.
What matches will Lewandowski be absent from?
The 37 -year -old striker will be absent from the Juan Gamper Cup match against Komo, on Sunday, in addition to the opening round of the Spanish League against Real Mallorca on August 16, then the following two confrontations against Levante and Rio Vallecano.
Barcelona’s decision not to risk the Polish striker
The last injury comes as an extension of its suffering from the repetition of the same muscle problem, which prompted the technical and medical system to make a decision not to hurry to return, to ensure that its full readiness is restored before it is involved in the official competitions.
How does Barcelona deal with the absence of scorer?
The absence of Lewandowski in the first weeks requires the coach to find alternative offensive solutions, especially since the team is coming on a crowded schedule and strong matches, which requires the distribution of the offensive effort to the rest of the elements in the squad.
