Barcelona announced that two of its key players, Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski, will miss several matches due to injuries. Yamal will be out for up to three weeks due to an ankle injury, while Lewandowski will rest for 10 days because of back issues.
Lewandowski is the top scorer in La Liga with 14 goals in 13 matches this season, making him a significant loss for the team coached by Hansi Flick. The Polish player was diagnosed with a back injury and was recommended a recovery period of 10 days.
Yamal's injury, on the other hand, occurred during Barcelona's 5-2 victory over Red Star in the Champions League last week. The 17-year-old forward has scored six goals in 15 matches across all competitions, becoming an important asset in the team's attack.
After Barcelona's 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad on Sunday, the absence of Yamal and Lewandowski in the upcoming matches was confirmed. The Catalan team lost their streak of seven consecutive victories in all competitions and was affected by the lack of goals in the absence of their two star forwards.
With the leadership of the La Liga standings, Barcelona will have to face the upcoming matches without two of their most influential attacking players. The absence of Yamal and Lewandowski poses a challenge for the team, which must find solutions to maintain its lead position in the domestic championship.
