An explanation for the lack of game time afforded to Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski in the club’s latest outing has come to the fore online.
This comes amid the understanding that the Polish international was struggling with a fitness problem.
Barcelona were of course back in action on Saturday evening, welcoming Osasuna to Catalunya’s capital for a La Liga clash.
When all was said and done, the Blaugrana emerged comfortable 2-0 victors, courtesy of a Raphinha brace.
Attacking partner Robert Lewandowski, though, was forced to watch on from the bench for the entirety of the 90 minutes.
And as alluded to above, post-match, an insight into why has been forthcoming online.
The info comes courtesy of journalist Mireia Ruiz Serapio, who, via LaTdT, reports that:
‘The Pole didn’t have minutes against Osasuna due to some hamstring problems. In case of emergency, he could have played 15 minutes, but after Barça’s first goal, they ruled it out.’
