Robert Lewandowski is intent on going to this weekend’s El Clasico match, despite the fact that it is unclear what his current physical state is.

During the Polish team’s victory over Porto in the Champions League on October 5, the striker suffered an ankle injury. As a result, Lewandowski was unable to play in the most recent two La Liga matches, which were against Granada and Bilbao.

It is quite certain that Lewandowski will not be able to participate in tonight’s (October 25) match against Shakhtar. However, the former Bayern Munich striker is dead set on making his comeback on October 28 against Real Madrid in the eleventh round of La Liga play.

The medical staff at Barcelona have revealed that Lewandowski is making excellent progress in his recuperation procedure. The Polish skipper will undergo additional testing in order to obtain a more accurate diagnosis of his health before the Super Classic match. The Catalan media, on the other hand, said that even if Lewy has not fully recovered from his injury, he is willing to take painkillers in order to compete against Real Madrid.

Lewandowski isn’t the only player who may make a return for El Clasico; De Jong and Raphinha are also possibilities. Pedri, however, who is a key member of the Barcelona team, will not be able to recover in time to play in the forthcoming match. In addition to Pedri, Sergi Roberto and Jules Kounde are not there due to the fact that they are still unable to fully heal from the injuries they sustained.

Barca’s coach, Xavi, is keeping the team’s strategic and personnel calculations a closely guarded secret until after the match against Real. The renowned Spanish football midfielder will not reveal the lineup for the encounter against Real Madrid until a few hours before the game begins.

At the moment, Barcelona is in third place in the rankings, one point behind the leading team Real Madrid (24 compared to 25). This indicates that in the event of a victory, Barcelona will move above Real in the rankings.
