Will Lewandowski be available? How Barca could line up against Levante

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is expected to be available for Saturday's La Liga clash with Levante.

Lewandowski missed the team's opening match of their 2025-26 La Liga season against Mallorca due to a hamstring issue, but he has trained this week and is set to be in the squad this weekend.

That said, a start is not certain, as head coach Hansi Flick will want to be cautious when it comes to the centre-forward, so it would not be a surprise to see Ferran Torres continue through the middle.

Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford were registered in time to make their debuts in the 3-0 win over Mallorca, and the former is again set to start between the sticks, while the latter could be used off the bench.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains unavailable for selection due to a back injury, but Dani Olmo is fit, with the Spaniard featuring off the bench against Mallorca.

Olmo is battling to come into the side in the number 10 spot, but Fermin Lopez is again expected to keep his spot, while Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are certain starters on Saturday night.

Head coach Flick could ultimately make just the one change to the side that took to the field for the first whistle against Mallorca, with Juies Kounde in line to replace Eric Garcia.

However, Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martin and Roony Bardghji have still not been registered.

Barcelona possible starting lineup:

Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha; Torres
