Barcelona receives a massive lift as a key star is poised to return from injury, bolstering their squad for the upcoming La Liga clash.
Despite Hansi Flick’s reservations about the team’s performance, the Blaugrana secured vital points in a challenging away fixture.
As they prepare for their next test against newly-promoted UD Levante, the Catalan giants have received a significant lift with the return of a pivotal figure in their squad.
The news comes as a timely advantage, strengthening Flick’s options for the upcoming clash in Valencia.
According to AS, the returning star is none other than Robert Lewandowski, the 36-year-old Polish striker whose recovery from a thigh injury has progressed faster than anticipated.
Sidelined since a training setback last week, initial fears suggested the former Bayern Munich talisman could miss up to three weeks, potentially ruling him out for Barcelona’s opening trio of La Liga matches.
However, his rehabilitation has been remarkably swift, with the veteran expected to rejoin team training early next week and be cleared for action by Friday, just in time for the Levante encounter.
This development is a massive boost for Barcelona, given Lewandowski’s proven goal-scoring prowess and leadership on the pitch.
Flick now faces a selection dilemma, as Ferran Torres impressed with a goal in the Mallorca victory, staking a claim for the starting striker role.
Lewandowski’s return, however, adds a layer of experience and clinical finishing that could prove decisive against Levante.
His ability to deliver in crucial moments makes him a cornerstone of Barcelona’s attack, and his availability enhances the team’s prospects of maintaining their early momentum.
As Barcelona aim to build on their opening win, Lewandowski’s comeback provides Flick with a wealth of attacking options.
The Camp Nou faithful will be eager to see their star striker back in action, ready to spearhead the charge against Levante.
With the season still in its infancy, this timely return could set the tone for a dominant campaign.
