Hansi Flick will have to rotate the Barcelona attack in the coming weeks after the injury of Robert Lewandowski.
La Blaugrana expanded their lead at the top of La Liga with an excellent 4-3 comeback victory at home to Celta Vigo this weekend, but the setback of Lewandowski overshadowed the end result.
Flick confirmed that medical tests would provide an insight into the status of the Poland star and he is now predicted that he will miss three weeks of action with a hamstring problem.
That window will include that Flick is without the 25-LA Liga target for the Copa del Rey-Final against Real Madrid on 26 April and their two UEFA Champions League Semi Final collisions with Inter Milan.
Ferran Torres is expected to come in as the direct coverage of Lewandowski through the center of Flick, flanked by Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
The Spain International has yielded 17 goals in all competitions this season, despite its limited role, and Flick now needs him more than ever.
With so many games that quickly arrive in succession, Ansu Fati could also be used, even though they appeared to be about to leave the club this summer.
Fati was offered a departure prior to the 2024/25 campaign, but no deal was reached when he looked at it to prove to flick.
His struggles to regain full power and the lack of trust of Flick in the 22-year-old contributed to a small impact in 2025.
Fati played four minutes from the bank in Dortmund in midweek, in his first performance in four months, but he did not face Celta Vigo.
Images of Dazn have recorded Fati's angry reaction not to be caused in that game, while the furious striker returned to the bank after he was broadcast to warm up by film.
The tight schedule means that film needs everyone available in his team and that Fati can get a role to protect Torres as a replacement for Lewandowski.
