According to reports, Ferran Torres, who has been filling in for the injured Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona’s attack in recent weeks, has performed well. The Spanish forward has scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 27 La Liga matches so far.

The 25-year-old was supposed to play for Barcelona in the derby against Espanyol on Thursday, but it was later announced that he would be absent. According to reports from Radio Cadena SER, he underwent medical examinations and it was determined that he must undergo immediate appendicitis surgery.

He felt pain on Wednesday and was immediately examined, revealing his appendicitis issue, necessitating surgery.

In recent days, reports emerged that Lewandowski had messaged Hansi Flick, stating he was ready to return to the lineup to compete with Kylian Mbappé for the La Liga top scorer title. However, the German coach did not want to take risks and still considered Ferran Torres as the primary striker. But now, with Torres’ appendicitis issue, it seems Lewandowski will get his chance and will start in the match against Espanyol.
