Available to play for Barcelona versus Espanyol is Robert Lewandowski
As a result of a precautionary measure being approved by the Madrid dispute resolution court, Lewandowski will be free to play for Barcelona against Espanyol.
For the Saturday derby matchup between Barcelona and Espanyol, Robert Lewandowski is available to play. The striker "will be able to play against Espanyol tomorrow after the Madrid Court of Appeal approved a precautionary measure to the sanction imposed by the court of arbitration for sport," according to a statement issued by Barcelona on Friday through their official media channels.
As a result, the experienced striker will be one of the 23 players in manager Xavi's lineup for the derby. It is unknown if this preventative measure also applies to the remaining two LaLiga games he would otherwise be required to serve against Atlético Madrid and Getafe, two clubs with bases in Madrid.
Whether or whether Lewandowski will play has been the subject of a protracted Lewandowski soap opera. Barcelona's legal team started to work after Gil Manzano dismissed him from the game against Osasuna for receiving two yellow cards.
The club first challenged the referee's report, in which he called out "inconsiderate gestures" made by players as he departed the field. The Appeal Committee dismissed this appeal and upheld the three-match suspension. The case was then brought before the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which upheld the decision and denied the precautionary measure. Later, it was turned up to the Madrid Court of Litigation, which approved the preventative action.
Due to his inclusion in the matchday squad, the Poland international may end up playing at Camp Nou on Saturday.
