Barcelona Faces Injury Challenges Ahead of Matches

FC Barcelona faces a significant setback ahead of their La Liga match against Real Sociedad, as top scorer Robert Lewandowski and starlet Lamine Yamal have been ruled out due to injuries.

Their absence was felt during Barcelona's recent defeat to Real Sociedad, highlighting Yamal's pivotal role in the team's attacking setup. Meanwhile, Real Madrid is grappling with its own injury crisis ahead of their Champions League clash with Liverpool, as Eder Militao and Rodrygo sustained injuries during a match against Osasuna. Militao left the game on a stretcher with a knee injury, adding to Madrid's growing injury list, which already includes key players like David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois. Both teams are looking to navigate their respective injury challenges as they head into crucial fixtures.
