Barcelona have been dealt a major blow as star striker Robert Lewandowski has been ruled out for at least one month due to a muscle tear, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo. The Polish forward is expected to miss between four to six weeks of action, meaning he will be unavailable for the highly anticipated El Clásico clash against Real Madrid later this month.
Lewandowski sustained the injury during Barcelona’s recent fixture, and medical tests have confirmed a muscle tear that will require a careful recovery plan. The club’s medical staff will closely monitor his rehabilitation process, with the primary goal being to avoid any risk of relapse.
The 36-year-old has been a key figure in Xavi Hernández’s side, leading the attack with his experience and finishing prowess. His absence comes at a critical point in Barcelona’s campaign, as they face a congested fixture list that includes La Liga matches and Champions League group-stage games.
