Since the start of the season, Robert Lewandowski has played a little less with FC Barcelona. However, the Polish gunner remains an important element and knows how to be decisive when Hansi Flick calls on him. And it is therefore logical that the Blaugrana club was annoyed by a sequence that occurred during the international window. Affected during the match between Poland and Lithuania, Lewandowski voluntarily remained on the pitch.
The case dates back to last Sunday October 12. That day, the Poles traveled to Lithuania to play their sixth qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup. Still chasing the Netherlands, leaders of Group G with three points ahead of them, the visitors won (0-2), thanks in particular to Robert Lewandowski’s goal (64th).
A goal scored in the second half while during the first act, the attacker worried by remaining seated for a moment before having a bandage placed on his thigh. Seen from Barcelona, concern immediately appeared and the tension increased suddenly. It was Marca who reported this this Wednesday in its columns. The Spanish media explained that “anger” was strong towards Lewandowski.
Six games without Lewandowski for FC Barcelona
The fact is that the player’s injury has worsened and he will now miss several matches with Barça. His return should not take place before a month. As a result, he will not be available at the time of the Clasico scheduled for October 26. The Blaugrana leaders do not understand why a player of the Pole’s experience was not more careful and attentive to his body.
The former Bayern Munich player is expected to miss six matches: four in the championships and two in the Champions League. At the end of his contract with Barça next June, and while discussions are still ongoing, not sure that the thirty-seven-year-old international has scored any points.
