Barcelona Star to Miss Major Clash as Club Issues Statement
FC Barcelona is set to face Atlético Madrid in a high-stakes La Liga match on Tuesday night. Unfortunately, the team will have to manage without one of its star players due to illness.
Barcelona’s Recent Performance
Over the past weekend, Barcelona claimed the top spot in La Liga after a 3-1 victory against Deportivo Alavés. This win came on the heels of another error from archrivals Real Madrid, which allowed the “Blaugrana” to secure their leading position.
Upcoming Challenge Against Atlético Madrid
This match against Atlético Madrid poses a significant challenge. Originally, this fixture was supposed to take place in January, but both clubs will be preoccupied with the Supercopa de España at that time. Therefore, they are meeting earlier in the season.
Team Update
On Tuesday afternoon, Barcelona announced its squad for the upcoming game. Notably, two Polish players are included: Wojciech Szczęsny and Robert Lewandowski. Szczęsny is expected to start from the bench, while there is considerable debate in Spanish media about Lewandowski’s role. Some reports suggest he will be in the starting lineup, while others indicate he may only come on as a substitute.
Injury Report
- Frenkie de Jong: Will miss the match due to illness and fever, as confirmed by the club.
Match Details
The match is scheduled to kick off at Camp Nou at 21:00. Fans can follow live updates on Emegypt.
