Lewandowski has been in excellent form for Barcelona this season, netting 40 goals in 48 appearances across all competitions. However, during Saturday’s match against Celta Vigo, as Hansi Flick’s team mounted a comeback, Lewandowski was forced to leave the field after appearing to injure his hamstring. Initial reports from the dressing room suggested growing concern about the 36-year-old’s condition, with the team fearing a muscle injury.
Barcelona’s worst fears were confirmed when the club announced that Lewandowski had sustained an injury to the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh. The injury’s severity and the recovery process mean that the Polish striker is expected to be sidelined for approximately three weeks.
This timeline will see Lewandowski miss key fixtures, including Barcelona’s crucial Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter Milan and the Copa del Rey final against fierce rivals Real Madrid next weekend. He will also be unavailable for La Liga matches against Mallorca and Valladolid. There’s a possibility he could be racing to regain fitness in time for the second leg against Inter Milan and the significant league encounter with Real Madrid.
Fortunately for Flick, Dani Olmo is back in action after being cleared fit last week, and Ferran Torres is showing strong form. However, the absence of Lewandowski’s partnership with Raphinha and Lamine Yamal will leave a notable gap in the team over the coming weeks.
