Going to the news from Barcelona, striker Robert Lewandowski faces a hamstring injury that could sideline him for several weeks, potentially causing him to miss the high-profile El Clasico against Real Madrid on 26 October. The 37-year-old scored in Poland’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Lithuania on Sunday but will not feature in Barcelona’s La Liga clash with Girona this weekend. Barcelona are also set to face Olympiakos in the Champions League next Tuesday.
The club confirmed Lewandowski has a left thigh hamstring injury, with recovery time depending on how the injury progresses. Spanish media suggest he could be out for around four weeks. This season, Lewandowski has already scored four goals in nine La Liga appearances. His absence adds to Barcelona’s injury list, which already includes Raphinha, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Joan Garcia.
On a positive note, forwards Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez have returned to training, providing some attacking options for the team. Barcelona will need to carefully manage their squad in the coming weeks, especially with key fixtures against Olympiakos and Real Madrid. The club’s injury challenges underline the importance of squad depth as they navigate a demanding schedule in both domestic and European competitions.
