The Spanish champions have now suffered another injury blow as they prepare for a series of important matches. Polish talisman Robert Lewandowski became the latest victim of the international break, sustaining a hamstring injury during the FIFA international break.

After fellow Barca teammates Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres had suffered injuries with Spain, Lewandowski also joined the long list of injured players in the treatment room.
