Polish striker Lewandowski suspended for three games
Poland and Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been banned for three Barca matches after being shown a red card in their 2-1 La Liga win over Osasuna last week.
Lewandowski, who is currently with Poland at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, received two yellow cards in the encounter.
His second yellow card against Osasuna was for elbowing David Garcia in the face.
The 34-year-old will now miss Barcelona's La Liga games against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid and Getafe after returning from the World Cup in Qatar.
Lewandowski's team-mate Gerard Pique was given a four-game ban after he insulted the referee at half-time following the decision.
However, Pique retired from football after that game.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have said they will appeal the ban on Lewandowski, which the Spanish football association issued for a gesture showing a 'contemptuous attitude towards the referees'.
