FIFA WC: 'Injury Denied Fans The Best Version Of Yamal,' Says Lewandowski
FIFA World Cup: Former Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski believes Lamine Yamal was unable to showcase his best football during Spain’s triumphant FIFA World Cup campaign because of the injury setback that disrupted his preparations.
Poland's captain said the teenage winger entered the tournament short on match fitness after spending nearly two months on the sidelines, making it difficult for him to hit top form immediately.
“Honestly, no, we didn’t see his best this tournament. For me, the best version of Lamine was two seasons ago. He’s still very young, and he came to the World Cup after an injury. He hadn’t played for around eight weeks, so it’s very difficult to return straight into a tournament like the World Cup,” Lewandowski told ESPN.
