Poland’s national football team captain, Robert Lewandowski, faces a frustrating period on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury during a recent Champions League match between FC Barcelona and FC Porto. The injury occurred when Lewandowski was fouled in the 20th minute of the match, and he was forced to leave the pitch 15 minutes later. This setback will see him miss Poland’s UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Moldova.
The Polish Football Association (PZPN) confirmed the injury, which has been described as ligament damage in the ankle joint. FC Barcelona has already established a treatment plan for the star striker.
Lewandowski’s absence is a significant blow to both his national team and club, as he is widely regarded as one of the world’s top footballers and has been a prolific goal scorer for both Bayern Munich and the Polish national team.
While the injury is undoubtedly disappointing for Lewandowski and his fans, it highlights the physical demands and risks associated with professional football. The focus will now be on his recovery and rehabilitation to ensure that he returns to the pitch in top form.
Poland’s national team will need to adapt to his absence and find ways to secure positive results in his absence as they continue their quest for qualification in the Euro 2024 tournament.
