Additionally this might be important for shutting down blacks pressure on the a2 square. Black has a threat of b4, cxb4, Nxb4: whites knight on c3 is the only thing stopping Qa2 for now. If black can sacrifice for it or deflect it then there is a threat on a2. It wouldn't be checkmate as the king can escape though.
