"Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was back in training on Wednesday after missing the Copa del Rey tie against Atletico due to a fractured eye socket. The striker has returned to work wearing a protective mask, and the hope is that he will be available for Saturday's La Liga fixture against Athletic Club."
"Saturday promises to be a tough game for Barcelona, particularly after a draining game against Atletico in midweek. However, Athletic Club also have a midweek fixture, as they play the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tonight against Real Sociedad."
"Flick may look to make changes to his team for Saturday, with Ferran Torres potentially one to drop out. The Shark has hit a really bad patch in front of goal and has only scored once in his last eight matches in all competitions for Barca."
Robert Lewandowski resumed training Wednesday following a fractured eye socket sustained during Barcelona's Copa del Rey match against Atletico. The striker wore a protective mask during his return to work. Barcelona aims to have him available for Saturday's La Liga fixture against Athletic Club, though the team faces fatigue after the midweek Copa del Rey encounter. Athletic Club also plays a Copa del Rey semi-final second leg tonight against Real Sociedad. Manager Flick may rotate the squad for Saturday, potentially benching Ferran Torres, who has struggled offensively with only one goal in his last eight matches across all competitions.
