"For me, a muscle tear, if it happens, doesn't let you run at high speed and it's impossible to play with it. And all of us who are close to football know that. I don't understand it,"
"Yes, it's true that he felt something and we came to an agreement between the doctor, Robert and I that if he felt any discomfort, he would ask to be substituted. But he held out without any problems until the end of the match."
"I thought maybe he had some scarring from the previous injury or that he might have a small tear or strain. But I was a player, and you see players who, when they suffer a muscle injury, stop and can't play anymore.I'm sorry, but I don't understand the injury."
A muscle tear prevents high-speed running and typically makes continued play impossible. An agreement existed that Robert Lewandowski would request substitution if he felt any discomfort, yet he completed the match and later appeared with a bandaged thigh. Medical observations did not clearly indicate an inability to play, and absence from the New Zealand match was attributed to rotation rather than injury. Possible explanations include scarring from a prior problem or a minor tear or strain. Multiple Barcelona players, including Gavi, Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo, have also picked up issues while on international duty.
