Blow for Barcelona as Lewandowski is substituted with possible injury vs FC Porto

Barcelona have been dealt a major blow as star striker Robert Lewandowski has been taken off with a potential injury during their game against FC Porto.

The 35-year-old superstar has been in good nick of late and is an undisputed starter in the No. 9 slot for the Catalan giants.

And, as such, his absence for the remainder of the contest will come as a blow, with the striker being taken off just a little after the half-hour mark.

Lewandowski appeared to have sustained the injury to his left foot when he was taken down by a rash challenge by David Carmo around the 21st-minute mark.

While the veteran forward tried to carry on, he appeared to be in discomfort and eventually ended up making way for Ferran Torres in the 34th minute.

Lewandowski was limping as he walked off the pitch and was seen icing his left leg while seated on the bench after his substitution.

With Barcelona already having lost Raphinha to an injury not very long ago, they will be hoping that the issue with Lewandowski is not something serious and just a knock.

For now, though, they will have to deal with the Porto defence without their most lethal goalscorer on the pitch, although Torres has given the Blaugrana a lead on the cusp of half-time.
