Barcelona and Poland striker Robert Lewandowski is facing a race against time to be fit for upcoming matches after suffering a suspected muscle injury during a training session.
The 35-year-old forward pulled up while participating in a routine training drill and was immediately attended to by the club’s medical staff. Initial assessments suggest a possible muscle strain, but the full extent of the injury will be confirmed after a series of medical tests scheduled to take place within the next 24 hours.
Sources close to the club say the situation is being closely monitored, as Lewandowski’s presence is crucial for Barcelona’s upcoming domestic and European fixtures. The Spanish giants are currently in a tight race for La Liga positioning and also face a critical stretch in European competition.
The injury scare also comes as a major concern for the Polish national team, with Euro 2024 preparation matches on the horizon. Lewandowski, Poland’s all-time leading goal scorer, remains a key figure for the national side, and any prolonged absence could impact their plans significantly.
Barcelona is expected to release an official statement once test results are available. For now, both fans and management are hoping for positive news and a quick recovery for the veteran striker, who has been instrumental since joining the club from Bayern Munich.
Lewandowski has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season and remains a central figure in Xavi Hernandez’s tactical setup.
