“I’m after further studies. I’ll do anything to play at the Camp Nou. Thank you all for your words of support!” – He wrote in a Wednesday afternoon Bayern striker on Twitter. Moments before the club announced that the 27-year-old striker has a concussion, broken nose and jaw bones. “How much is sidelined, it turns out after the subsequent studies,” – wrote of Munich.
Just before the end of Tuesday’s German Cup semi-final extra Lewandowski jumped to cross Jerome Boateng. It rammed Borussia goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak. Pole did not get up from the turf, then he went to the doctors for a goal, but returned to the pitch. But it was seen that he is not at full strength, suitable for a change, but Pep Guardiola has already introduced three reserves. Bayern coach and the doctors figured out, however, that something is wrong, because Lewandowski has not been appointed for shooting a penalty – in the quarterfinals against Leverkusen struck in the second round. Incidentally, on Tuesday, his skills would be very handy, his colleagues did not use a single penalty (!), Bayern lost and lost a chance for a third country cup in a row.
When the match Lewandowski drove the ambulance to the hospital did not remember nor the last minutes of the game, or that it scored a goal. “Robert already after the tests, it is not good … more I can not write” – he wrote at night on Twitter Pole agent Cezary Kucharski. – The wife of Robert was very scared the first news was not really the best – he told us yesterday Kucharski.
Night Lewandowski spent at home, woke up in a good mood, he complained only bruised shoulder. Later, he went for another test. – Fractures of the nose and jaw will certainly be felt, but often do not preclude training and matches in a special mask. I do not know if this will happen in this case because I do not know the details, but there is a chance. The bigger concern is, however, a concussion – says Jacek Jaroszewski, Polish team doctor, who is in constant contact with Lewandowski. According to him, after such a trauma player usually gets a few days off – not training, he has just rest. – Concussion is not as dangerous as a shock, but it’s still a serious injury. Therefore, it is not known exactly what would risk the player who too quickly after such an injury back into play, doctors usually wait until he feels he’s all wrong. The principle: it is better to go back a few days late than one too early. At this time, probably in the Bayern do not know if Robert will play against Barcelona – says the Jaroszewski.
The question is whether doctors from Munich Lewandowski should not prohibit returning to the court and immediately send him to the hospital. – Concussion in itself is dangerous. And if in the short term there would be another, the consequences could be really serious, such as might occur hematoma – said prof. Miroslaw Clove, a neurosurgeon, an associate of the Polish Olympic Committee Medical Commission. – Sometimes doctors, however, operate under pressure, their opinion is not important. At every conference you hear that after a head injury in sports doctor should check competitor consciousness, asking who scored a goal, who missed a penalty, what is the result like. If a player can not answer, should be taken to the hospital. Unfortunately, this method is not widespread. But football is becoming more and more a contact sport. With the blow to the head at stake enormous kinetic energy – said prof. Clove.
After the world championships in Brazil, in which five players suffered concussions on the field, UEFA changed its rules. Judges may interrupt Champions League matches and Europa League even for three minutes, that doctors have time to determine whether the player should return to the pitch. The head of the FIFA Medical Committee, Michel D’Hooghe wants this provision in force in all competitions.
If Lewandowski left the match with Barcelona, Guardiola would be a huge problem. Pole in the last 11 games and scored nine goals, with 22 goals is the most successful player the German champions. In addition to the Camp Nou for sure Arjen Robben will not play. The Dutchman recovered from abdominal muscle injury, which sidelined because of a month, entered in the second half of the game against Borussia, but after a quarter has been changed. Calf injury means that leave the rest of the season. – Without Robert and Arjen Barça will be a definite favorite. But it has yet to prove on the court – said yesterday Bayern midfielder Xabi Alonso.
It is possible, however, that the Spaniard a hurry. – Tuesday scared as you probably all, but today I am optimistic – says Adam Nawałka. – Robert was tough, thanks to’ll recover faster. Thanks to his superb physical preparation that the injury is not serious. I do not know if late for Barcelona, but I believe that soon will return to court – says coach the team which will play the next match on June 13 against Georgia.
