According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, veteran Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski will be fit and ready to play against Girona, despite his recent involvement in a full match for Poland against Croatia.

In their match against Croatia, Poland suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat. Although Lewandowski could not secure a victory for his team, he is expected to return to Barcelona in peak condition, showing no signs of the discomfort he experienced in a previous Nations League game against Scotland.

During that match, Lewandowski had to request a substitution due to physical issues. However, he managed to play the entire game against Croatia without any further problems.

This means he should be fully available for Barcelona’s upcoming match against Girona this Sunday.

Impressive start to the new season

Lewandowski began the season impressively with Barcelona, scoring four goals in the first four LaLiga matches. He also converted a penalty in Poland’s win over Scotland.

However, his scoring streak faced a setback in the game against Croatia, where he was unable to find the net. He did come close with a shot that hit the crossbar, but the ball did not go in, and he ended the game without scoring.

After finishing his international duties, Lewandowski will return to Barcelona to join the team’s training sessions. The focus now is on preparing for the match against Girona.

Barcelona are keen to maintain their winning streak in the league, which has propelled them to the top of the table. They will head to Montilivi with a strong determination to avenge the two losses they suffered against Girona last season.

In summary, Lewandowski’s availability is a boost for Barcelona as they aim to continue their impressive form in LaLiga.

His return to full fitness and readiness to contribute will be crucial as the team looks to secure another victory and maintain their position at the top of the league standings.
