"I'm surprised by Robert's injury. He indeed felt something, but for me, with a torn muscle, it's impossible to play."
"Robert and I agreed with the doctor that if he felt anything, he would raise his hand, and we would make the substitution. But he held out without any problems until the end."
"I would never risk the health of any player. That always comes first. There are many games to play; it's not worth playing injured. I would like to have Lewandowski available for the next break, so I wouldn't risk his health. We know how important he is to Barça and to us."
Robert Lewandowski suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh while on international duty, causing concern for Barcelona and the Poland national team. Jan Urban said he was surprised by the injury and noted that a torn muscle makes it impossible to run at high speed. Urban said he and the doctor agreed Lewandowski would signal if he felt anything, but the striker remained until the end. Urban rested Lewandowski against New Zealand to preserve him for Lithuania and said he would never risk a player's health, prioritizing recovery and careful management.
