Barca's injury worries continue as €50M star in doubt against Sevilla

FC Barcelona, having got to a brilliant start in the 2024/25 season, has had major positives so far. Be it key starters making exceptional returns for the club, youngsters living up to senior roles comfortably, or seasoned stars continuing their heroics, things seem to be going in the right direction at the club. However, while certainly these have had much positive influence on the club's success, none has been more vital than star forward Lewandowski's form recovery.

Barca's injury worries continue as €50M star in doubt against Sevilla

Although it had been speculated that the forward's reunion with Hansi Flick could work wonders, it has turned out to be much better than expected. Leading the Pichichi race with 10 La Liga goals and being one of the best forwards this season, Lewandowski with 14 goal contributions has been unstoppable. In such a scenario, the Blaugrana club can't even imagine the number 9's absence in their crucial season ahead.

However, recent reports regarding the forward seem concerning, who seems to have gotten injured on the international break. In Poland's recent Nations League matchday against Croatia, Barca star forward Robert Lewandowski endured a brutal tackle from the Croatian keeper, who was sent off for the challenge. But even after the hefty blow, Lewandowski continued the fixture, looking in significant pain.

However, what has been significantly shocking in the star forward's case is that the Polish manager had indications of something like this happening. As per reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Polish manager said that the player suffered from a slight injury but still subbed him on during the second half. Ultimately, the Barcelona star left the match in pain after a strong tackle during the fixture.

Although Diario SPORT's recent reports suggest that Lewandowski has arrived back in Barcelona, he seems to be in doubt for their upcoming Sevilla fixture. After bare days passed since the club felt resolved on their ace prodigy Lamine Yamal's injury concern situation, with now their priority number 9 in question for the important games ahead.

Clearly, FC Barcelona has every right to be upset with Poland's national team management, who, despite being aware of the forward's situation, subbed him during the second half. Moreover, it has not been the first time, with not many days ago, their star prodigy Lamine Yamal getting a similar hostile treatment from Spain.

Overall, as has been suggested multiple times, the workload of star players needs to be regulated, with the responsibilities of both the club and the national team increasing on a player's fitness. However, what has happened can't be undone, as Barca fans hope that Lewandowski becomes available for the club's key fixtures ahead.
