On October 4, during an away match in the second round of the Champions League against FC Porto, Robert Lewandowski left the field in the first half after a sharp tackle from one of his opponents. Later tests showed that he suffered an ankle injury, which caused him to miss matches with the club and the Polish national team. On Thursday and Friday, Lewandowski and the team attended training and will most likely be ready for Saturday’s match against Real Madrid.

Xavi appreciated the FC Barcelona medical staff. “Awesome work”
During Friday’s press conference before El Clasico, Xavi spoke about the work of Barcelona’s medical staff. The coach of the Spanish champions admitted that the club’s doctors did a great job, recovering both Robert Lewandowski and other players who suffered injuries in recent weeks.
– There is no problem with Pedri or anyone else. On the contrary. This needs to be emphasized. In terms of injuries, players who had five weeks are ready in three. Today I told the doctors that their work is fantastic, and above all, the players’ predispositions. Five of them were suspended, and now they can play – said Xavi, quoted by “Mundo Deportivo”.
The five players mentioned by the Barcelona coach are: Raphinha, Jules Kounde and Pedri, Frenkie de Jong and Robert Lewandowski. Everything indicates that the “hospital” that began in the team at the beginning of the season is slowly closing.
The coach on Lewandowski’s performance in El Clasico. “We can’t make a mistake”
Meczyki.pl reported that Robert Lewandowski received full consent from doctors to play against Real Madrid, which means that the Pole will most likely appear in the match squad. Despite this, it is still unknown whether Xavi will decide to start the 35-year-old from the first minute or whether he will let him in for several dozen minutes of the second half.
– Everyone wants to perform in the classic. The players’ attitude is very good and we have to wait until tomorrow for the squad. Those who are better will play. We cannot make a mistake and put a player on the field who is not 100 percent ready. We’ll see what happens tomorrow, said the Barcelona coach.
The match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid in the 11th round of La Liga will take place on October 28 at 16:15. We invite you to follow the text report from this meeting on the Sport.pl website and in the Sport.pl LIVE mobile application.
