Barcelona confirm major double injury blow as Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski are ruled out

Barcelona’s defeat to Real Sociedad continues to look more and more costly, as their top goalscorer and their most creative player have been ruled out in the aftermath. The Blaugrana have confirmed Robert Lewandowski has a back injury, while Lamine Yamal is suffering from an ankle problem.

The Polish striker will not travel with his international side, after he suffered a knock to his back during their clash on Sunday night – Lewandowski is expected to be out for around 10 days, say the club. Teenage star Lamine Yamal will miss around two to three weeks, as he is dealing with an ankle issue. He will also be out of Spain duty, as they face Denmark and Switzerland in the Nations League.

Lewandowski should be back in time for Barcelona’s next game, a tricky away trip to Celta Vigo at Balaidos. There is more concern over Lamine Yamal’s fitness for the next clashes, who could miss that game, as well as their Champions League clash with Brest, and their home tie with Las Palmas, depending on his recovery.
