Barcelona Confirms Robert Lewandowski Has Suffered A Torn Thigh Muscle

‎Barcelona have confirmed that striker Robert Lewandowski has sustained a torn thigh muscle.

‎The injury is expected to sideline the Poland captain, putting his availability for next week’s LaLiga clash against Real Madrid in doubt.

‎Lewandowski played the full 90 minutes and scored in Poland’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Lithuania on Sunday.

‎”Lewandowski has a muscle injury in the biceps femoris of the left thigh. His recovery time will depend on how the injury evolves,” Barcelona said in a statement.

‎Spanish media reported that Lewandowski is expected to be out for four to six weeks, making him a doubt for the Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu on October 26th.

‎Lewandowski’s injury adds to Barcelona’s mounting fitness concerns under coach Hansi Flick, with Raphinha, Gavi, and Dani Olmo also sidelined. 

‎Goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen remains out as he continues recovery from back surgery.

‎However, Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez are expected to return after the international break, offering a timely boost for the squad.
