Lewandowski Will Play The Supercopa Final After Overcoming Discomfort
FC Barcelona will have Robert Lewandowski available for the Supercopa de España final, which will take place this Sunday in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The Polish striker, who experienced discomfort after the 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao in the semifinal, is ready to compete for the first title of the season.
Although Lewandowski was substituted in the final minutes of the match and was seen limping slightly, the club confirmed that the issue is not serious. On Thursday, the La Liga top scorer trained without issues during the recovery session led by coach Hansi Flick.
The training session took place on a field near the King Abdullah Stadium, the venue for the final, with differentiated routines for the Wednesday starters and the rest of the squad. Barcelona, aiming to add another trophy to their collection, is counting on Lewandowski’s offensive impact to face their yet-to-be-determined opponent in the final.
The final is scheduled for Sunday, January 12, at 8:00 PM, promising an exciting conclusion to the tournament.
