Barcelona's injury crisis rages on as another key player got sidelined.
Barcelona have announced an injury to another one of their key players following the publication of Lamine Yamal's layoff yesterday.
The Blaugrana have struggled with injuries this season, and yesterday, their situation worsened after they announced the injury to Robert Lewandowski, only hours after Lamine Yamal's.

Strange reason why Barcelona will not try to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold in 2025
The Liverpool full-back could become available on a free transfer next summer, but Barcelona have already withdrawn from the race for his signature
Lewandowski injury
Unlike Yamal, who was completely ruled out of yesterday's defeat to Real Sociedad, Lewandowski featured for the entirety of the disappointing contest for Barcelona.
Following the match, the Blaugrana confirmed the nature of Lamine Yamal's injury to be a grade 1 right ankle syndesmosis, which effectively rules him out for two to three weeks.
In the same statement, they announced that Lewandowski had also booked a trip to the infirmary. The Polish striker sustained an injury in his lower back and will be out for at least ten days.
This effectively rules out both players for the international break. Barcelona will hope their recoveries go as planned to help them return to action as quickly as possible so as to bounce back from the defeat at the Reale Arena.
Meanwhile, Barcelona fans hoping to see Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold in Blaugrana colours may be disappointed, as reports indicate the club have ruled out a move for the English defender.
