Video: Barcelona forward reappears with a bandage on his leg | OneFootball

The term ‘international break’ instantly strikes fear into the hearts of Barcelona fans, as they have seen their team crumble multiple times after such breaks. Whether it’s due to a loss of form or their star players returning injured from international duty, the Culers have reasons to be concerned.

However, this time around, the international break has been rather kind to them, as it came at a time when several key players, including the likes of Olmo, Fermin, and Gavi, who were in the infirmary and needed a couple of weeks to regain full fitness, are now close to returning to the pitch.

Additionally, most of their key players have returned without suffering any major fitness issues, leaving them better prepared for the upcoming crucial fixtures. However, two key Barcelona players, Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, have returned from their respective national team camps with some minor discomfort.

Lewandowski, who suffered a blow after coming off the bench against Croatia and was seen limping while leaving the pitch, has already returned to the Catalan capital and undergone medical examinations at the club’s facilities, where no serious issues have been detected.

Furthermore, as highlighted by SPORT, Blaugrana fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as the 36-year-old Polish ace made an appearance in his wife Anna Lewandowska’s Instagram story yesterday afternoon.

In the video, Lewandowski is seen enjoying time with his family at an equestrian center, notably wearing a protective bandage on his left leg. These visuals suggest that he is not overly concerned about the injury.

As the Blaugranas prepare for a crucial set of fixtures in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, having Lewandowski at full fitness is essential for the Catalan giants. Not only is he the club’s leading goal scorer, but there is also no proper replacement for him in the squad, making him crucial for Hansi Flick’s system.

Let’s hope the Pole swiftly recovers from this setback and can lead the Barcelona attack against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid while continuing his fine form.
