Barcelona have been dealt a blow ahead of a crucial La Liga run: star striker Robert Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury, specifically a muscle tear in the biceps femoris of his left thigh. The club confirmed he will be sidelined for three to four weeks, possibly extending to five or six weeks depending on recovery.
The 37-year-old forward, who has already scored four goals in nine appearances this season, has faced muscle problems before. This marks his third muscle injury since April, raising questions about his availability for major fixtures, including the upcoming El Clasico against Real Madrid.
Barcelona are also coping with injuries to Dani Olmo (three weeks out) and Ferran Torres, leaving manager Hansi Flick to rely on younger players like Lamine Yamal and Pablo Torre.
Despite the setback, Lewandowski’s resilience and work ethic give fans hope. Known for bouncing back stronger after injuries at Bayern Munich and Barcelona, the striker is expected to return to Camp Nou with his trademark impact.
The club, fans, and football world now watch and wait, counting down the weeks until their talisman is back on the pitch.
