Barcelona, the La Liga leaders this season, are having a dream run in the competition , owing to the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Pedri, Marc Andren Ter Stegen, Gavi.
But their hopes of continuing this dream run and clinching a La Liga crown after two years has been dealt with a major jolt, as their star Polish striker this season, Robert Lewandowski is sidelined due to injury, and is a major cause of concern for the Blaugrana as some tough fixtures are in the line for them.
Nightmare to continue?
After losing to Manchester United and crashing out of the Europa League on Thursday, the Blaugrana receive another setback in their quest to title as they slumped to a narrow 0-1 defeat to Almeria.
And now with Lewandowski missing nearly two weeks due to injury, this setback might continue as they face their nemesis Real Madrid in a few days.
With Lewandowski out and leaving Barcelona with no strikers at bay barring Ansu Fati, they might face a stern test when they face the “Los Blancos” in the Cup.
Having sold proper strikers like Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong, they are presently looking for a proper player who can fill the void created by the Polish.
He is about to undergo few tests to confirm the extend of his injury.
Injury woes to add up
With Ousmane Dembele and Pedri already sidelined and now Lewa added to the list, this could be a tricky spell for Barcelona which might decide Xavi’s future in the coming week.
The French winger and the Spanish magician might return after few weeks, with the prospect of Dembele returning earlier, but is still doubtful for a place in the starting eleven.
