robert-lewandowski-is-low-for-the-clasico-in-the-copa-del-rey-and-fc-barcelona-will-have-to-improvise-on-offense

The bad news continues for FC Barcelona after the elimination in the Europa League playoff last Thursday with Manchester United. And it is that the Blaugrana club has confirmed that its star attacker Robert Lewandowski will miss the Copa del Rey semifinal Clásico on March 2.

Lewandowski played the 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat against Almería by La Liga Santander this Sunday and on Monday first thing in the morning, the Culé team has confirmed that the Pole has an overload in the hamstring of his left thigh.

The incorporation of the number nine could take place on Sunday March 12 in the duel against Athletic Club de Bilbao, so this week’s Sunday game against Valencia CF at Spotify Camp Nou would also be lost.

With Lewandowski out, coach Xavi Hernández will have to maneuver in the offense that he will present on Thursday against Real Madrid, since both Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembélé are occupying the infirmary; Pedri, who had been a goal-facing option from midfield, will not be available either.

Thus, Barcelona’s possible offensive line-up this Thursday at the Santiago Bernabéu will be headed by Gavi on the extreme left, Ferrán Torres as a center forward and Raphinha on the right wing.
