Flick, the coach of Barcelona, has no intention of hastening the return of either Balde or Lewandowski. Still, the Blaugranas have significant matches remaining in the La Liga title race. Not to mention the forthcoming weekend’s matchup with Real Madrid. Therefore,

Flick will not jeopardize the health of his most important athletes. Balde and Lewandowski will both aim for returns against Real.
