Barcelona confirm Lewandowski hamstring injury
Barcelona have confirmed that Robert Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury. The Polish striker picked up the problem while playing for his national team against Lithuania — though he completed the full match and even scored in the 64th minute.
According to the club’s official statement, Lewandowski has sustained damage to his hamstring and will miss the upcoming league fixture against Girona. The duration of his recovery will depend on how his treatment progresses in the coming days.
His availability for the crucial trip to the Santiago Bernabéu on the 26th is now in serious doubt.
Barcelona are already dealing with a series of attacking injuries, with both Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres having withdrawn early from the Spain squad due to fitness issues.
Before the setback, Lewandowski had scored four goals in nine appearances this season, including a brace against Valencia and strikes versus Oviedo and Real Sociedad.
