Injury Storm Clouds Lewandowski's Barça Run

Injury concerns overshadow Lewandowski's Barça spell

Five games into the season and a string of injuries raise questions: has Lewandowski's Barcelona era stalled?

Worries have grown at Barcelona as the Polish forward's muscular issues keep him out of Osasuna.

Sport reports his absence came from hamstring pain, with Flick refusing to risk him.

If needed he could have played about fifteen minutes, but Barca's opener ruled that out.

This marks his fifth miss this season due to muscular issues, a figure worrying Camp Nou.

The Polish forward has played 17 games and scored eight goals, well below his usual rate.

Although he started the Champions League game against Eintracht Frankfurt, this is now the second league match on the bench after Betis.

The manager won't risk him in Tuesday's Copa del Rey tie with Guadalajara.

Contract talks linger as his Barcelona deal runs to June 2026.

Punchline: If injuries counted as goals, he'd lead the league. Still hopeful, Barça fans.
