Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, top scorer in the Spanish soccer league, has a muscle injury in his left thigh and is not available at FC Barcelona, the Catalan shield announced today.
On his official website, the leader of the Spanish championship confirmed the physical problem of the 34-year-old player, who was full-time on Sunday in the defeat against Almería (1-0), and that the injury to his back and thigh will be followed by the club’s medical service.
FC Barcelona has not revealed Lewandowski’s scheduled rest, but it is practically certain that he will not be in Thursday’s duel with Real Madrid in the Spanish capital, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals.
According to the Spanish press, the striker is expected to be out for about two weeks, so, in principle, his participation in the start of Poland in qualifying for Euro2024 is not in danger.
At the end of March, Poland will face the Czech Republic and Albania, in Group E matches, in what will be the senior debut of the new coach, the Portuguese Fernando Santos.
In his first season at FC Barcelona, Lewandowski has scored 25 goals in 31 games across all competitions and leads the LaLiga top scorer list with 15.
