Barcelona has officially announced that their striker, Robert Lewandowski, is dealing with an injury and is expected to be sidelined for approximately three to four weeks.
Lewandowski was on the field with his teammates for the Porto match, but he was forced to exit in the 34th minute due to a harsh tackle from Porto’s Fabio Cardoso that occurred in the 28th minute. Initially, it appeared that he might continue playing, as he remained on the bench with the other substitutes.
However, subsequent medical assessments have confirmed that the former Bayern Munich player will be unavailable for around four weeks. This injury adds him to the list of sidelined players, which includes Frenkie De Jong, Raphinha, and Pedri.
As a result of this injury, the 35-year-old will miss Barcelona’s upcoming match against Granada this weekend, as well as Poland’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Moldova.
There’s also a possibility that Lewandowski may be sidelined for the first El Clasico of the season, scheduled for October 28th.
