"The fitness woes continue to mount for FC Barcelona as the club have confirmed that Robert Lewandowski has been sidelined with a thigh injury. "The player Robert Lewandowski has a muscle tear in the biceps femoris of the left thigh. He is sidelined, and the recovery time will depend on the progress of the injury," the statement from the club read. Much like with the statement issued on Dani Olmo's injury on Monday, Barcelona have not provided a recovery timeline for Lewandowski."
"The 37-year-old striker's injury comes at an inopportune moment for the La Liga champions, considering that they have already lost several players to fitness problems. Dani Olmo returned from the Spain camp with a calf injury, while Ferran Torres also came back with muscle overload, although he is expected to be available at the weekend against Girona. But, given that Lewandowski has suffered a muscle tear in his thigh, he is likely to be sidelined for a few weeks at least."
FC Barcelona confirmed that Robert Lewandowski has a muscle tear in the biceps femoris of his left thigh and is sidelined while recovery depends on the injury's evolution. The 37-year-old striker's injury adds to existing fitness issues after Dani Olmo returned from Spain with a calf injury and Ferran Torres suffered muscle overload. Lewandowski has scored four goals this season while taking on a secondary role behind Ferran. The injury is likely to keep Lewandowski out for several weeks and represents a worrying absence ahead of matches against Girona, Olympiacos, and Real Madrid.
