Lewandowski injury: Will Barca goal machine miss Real Madrid, Inter clashes?
Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski is reportedly facing a minimum of three weeks on the sidelines with the hamstring injury that he picked up during Saturday’s La Liga clash with Celta Vigo.
Lewandowski has been in red-hot form for Barcelona during the 2024-25 campaign, scoring 40 goals and registering three assists in 48 appearances for the Catalan giants.
However, the 36-year-old limped off the field in the latter stages of Saturday’s game against Celta, which Barcelona won 4-3 after coming from 3-1 behind.
The Catalan team provided official confirmation of his injury on Sunday, and according to AS, the forward could be missing for a minimum of three weeks.
“Tests carried out on Sunday have confirmed that first-team player Robert Lewandowski has a left semitendinosus injury. His return will be determined by his progress,” read a statement from Barcelona.
A three-week absence would take Lewandowski until April 10, meaning that he could miss the next five games for Barcelona, including the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid next weekend, in addition to both legs of their Champions League semi-final with Inter Milan.
