The drop of Robert Lewandowski aims to be the most brief of the three players that still are drop for the FC Barcelona. Unlike Pedri González and Ousmane Dembélé, the '9' already works on the lawn and, although it trained to the margin of the group the Saturday, the own Xavi Hernández recognised that the Pole could be smart to return before the expected, as it saw him well in the last practices.
"Robert has good feelings and Pedri and Dembélé are in process. The evolution of his feelings will mark his return. There is not a clear-cut date", explained the technician egarense in the previous press conference to the party in front of Valencia. In this sense, if all course well during the week, 'Lewy' could reappear next Sunday in Saint Mamés in front of the Athletic of Bilbao, just before the Classical suspender belt.
The Pole already marked and assisted in the goleada in front of the 'lions' in the first turn (4-0), a party in which Dembélé was the 'MVP' with a goal and three assistances. To Lewandowski has cost him recover the average goleador registered in the first part of the season, with only a pair of goals in the last five days of LaLiga. After the unfair sanction of three days after his expulsion in The Sadar, Robert has stagnated his production, although it keeps on being 'pichichi' of the tournament with 15 goals.
The player of 35 years suffered one overloads in the biceps femoral of the left thigh after the defeat in front of the Almería (1-0), a physical problem that left him out of the Classical of Glass the Thursday and of the crash home in front of Valencia. Although his injury aimed to leave him 'KO' three weeks, the '9' trusts to be available for the visit to Saint Mamés, a party of 'high risk' for the ones of Xavi.
The next Classical, priority for Lewandowski
After losing the gone of 'semis' in front of the Real Madrid, the forward expects to arrive in full form to the Classical of League that will contest in the Spotify Camp Nou on 19 March, just before the stop of selections by Date FIFA. The Barça expects to sentence the tournament home in this party, after the opportunity lost the past week in field of the Almería.
Of the same way, the '9' has in the horizon the revancha of Glass in front of the Madrid, also home and with the factor in favour of the advantage achieved in Santiago Bernabéu. The Barça expects to explain also with Pedri and Dembélé for this 5 April, where the team can confirm his return to the final of a tournament that won for the last time in 2021, with Ronald Koeman in the bench.
However, Lewandowski has clear that does not have to force to avoid greater evils. The forward has suffered his first injury in Barcelona and, in the middle of a so demanding calendar and, with the wear that supposed to play the World-wide in December, knows very well that, physically, he and the rest of the staff arrive to the limit to the final stretch of the season. In the 2021/22, the '9' played all the season with the Bayern Munich without suffering injuries.
Xavi clears the physical work of the technical body
In this regard, Xavi left clear in the previous of the party in front of Valencia that he and his technical body have special attention for dosificar loads and warn injuries, a plague that already has azotado to the Barça in previous years. "We work a lot the physical appearance and analyse the physical data after the meetings, with the metres visited, the sprints, the high intensity and if there are players that are in red numbers. We try to minimise injuries, have it all controlled so that the players can surrender to the maximum, but sometimes lesionan", explained the egarense.
For the staff, the injuries of Ousmane and Pedri arrived in the worst possible moment, just when the team played the life in the Europe League. Also it has been worrisome the drop of 'Lewy', considering the fault of centrodelanteros in the staff after the exit of Memphis Depay in January. Still like this, the team was able to win in Santiago Bernabéu, showing that the acting can answer in situations of maximum requirement.
