The Polish goalscorer starts the match in Son Moix, sitting on the bench.
FC Barcelona visits Mallorca for the seventh day of LaLiga 2023-24, as new leaders of the standings after the victory over Celta de Vigo and the subsequent fall to Real Madrid in the derby against Atlético. But he does it without his star scorer, Polish striker Robert Lewandowski.
Why doesn’t Robert Lewandowski play Mallorca vs FC Barcelona in LaLiga 2023-24 today?
The Blaugrana team has just completed an epic comeback against the Galicians, who led 2-0 in Montjuic until the 80th minute and saw their victory slip away thanks to Lewandowski’s own double and Joao Cancelo’s painful goal.
Xavi, who has two important absences from midfield due to the injuries of Pedri and Frenkie De Jong, will also have to do without the top scorer of last LaLiga in this match. But Lewandowski is neither injured nor suspended.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich player has no rest at the start of the season and that is why Xavi has chosen to leave him on the bench against Mallorca, while Barcelona play again in three days. And no less than against Sevilla, one of the most complicated rivals that the Barça team can have in Spain. Therefore, Lewandowski will rest this Tuesday, with Ferran Torres his replacement in the Balearic region. Raphinha and Joao Félix will attend the ‘Tiburón’ in the wings.
The following is Xavi’s call to visit Mallorca:
