"The Pole did not have minutes against Osasuna due to hamstring problems. In case of urgency he could have played 15 minutes, but with Barça's first goal they ruled him out."
"Raphinha then made the game safe in the 86th minute to secure another three points for Barca that extends the Catalan giants' lead at the top of the table."
"Flick will be expected to rotate his side for the match, meaning players who have struggled for minutes such as Roony Bardghji, Marc Casado and Andreas Christensen could be handed starts."
Lewandowski did not feature against Osasuna because of hamstring discomfort and Hansi Flick chose not to risk the veteran. Journalist Mireia Ruiz indicated that the Pole could have played up to fifteen minutes in an emergency, but Barça's first goal removed the need. Raphinha sealed the win in the 86th minute, securing three points and extending Barcelona's lead atop the table. The severity of Lewandowski's problem and his availability for the upcoming Copa del Rey tie against Guadalajara are currently unclear. Flick is expected to rotate the squad, with Roony Bardghji, Marc Casado and Andreas Christensen potential starters.
