Three Barcelona youngsters Xavi could look at to replace Lewandowski

Up ahead for FC Barcelona is a month of football that will see the Catalan giants adapt. The upcoming clash against Granada and then subsequent outings against the likes of Athletic Bilbao, Shakhtar Donetsk and the ever-important El Clasico test against Real Madrid will all be games to wrap up within October taking into account the many absentees.

For Barcelona, four key players are already injured and currently recovering. Brazilian winger Raphinha had to be taken off against Sevilla, Robert Lewandowski against FC Porto just recently, Frenkie De Jong against Celta Vigo, and Pedri was injured all the way back in August.

However, while most of these positions have been covered in one way or another, Lewandowski’s is one that needs to be tended to. A recent injury in itself, the Polish striker’s position is one of absolute importance. For Xavi, there are certain players to rely upon to take over in the first team.

Despite that, additional depth is never a bad idea. Currently, there are only three fit forwards in the first team: Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, and Joao Felix. As a result, it will have to be the subsidiary that Barcelona would ideally turn to according to SPORT.
