Barcelona superstar has an issue with his spine, played with a special belt vs Girona

Heading into the Girona match last night, Robert Lewandowski was suffering from a back problem that was aggravated following a duel with Eder Militao in the game against Real Madrid.

The forward had shown signs of discomfort but went on to play against Girona anyway. He played the whole ninety minutes but was unable to score in a goalless draw against the Catalan rivals.

However, as revealed by Roman Kolton, it appears Lewandowski had to play with a ‘special belt’ yesterday. This is because the striker was unable to train on the day of the game. He showed up for ten minutes while the cameras were running, but could not continue.

In order to play against Girona, the Pole had to wear a special belt as he had a problem with his spine. The player ended the game unscathed, though it remains to be seen whether or not there might be any repercussions ahead of the next game against Getafe.

With 17 goals, Lewandowski has been the top scorer in La Liga this season, leading the Barcelona frontline with aplomb. Although his form has dipped a little in recent weeks, there are no doubts that the Pole has played a key role in handing Barcelona a formidable lead at the top of the table.

As the Catalans brace themselves for a tough fixture against Getafe, Lewandowski’s presence could be very important, especially with Ousmane Dembele unlikely to be an option.

But on the bright side, Barcelona might be boosted by the return of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, although whether or not both midfielders start the game remains to be seen.
