Copa del Rey: Barcelona suffer major injury blow ahead of Atletico second leg
Barcelona’s Lewandowski Out for Copa del Rey Semi-Final Match
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski will miss the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid due to a fractured eye socket. The announcement was made by the club on Sunday.
Lewandowski sustained the injury during the recent match against Villarreal, where he managed to score in Barcelona’s 4-1 victory. Medical evaluations confirmed the fracture in his left eye socket, ruling him out of the crucial clash against Atletico.
Barcelona enters the game trailing 4-1 after the first leg, and the team must regroup without one of its key players. Coach Hansi Flick has primarily utilized Ferran Torres in the central role this season, but Lewandowski’s absence is expected to impact the squad’s strategy moving forward.
