The “peak” of Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski (37 years old), returned from the national team with a discomfort to the femoral biceps of the left foot. The diagnosis is tough.
Barcelona does not escape the misfortune of injury. Since the beginning of the season, Lamine Yamal, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, Joan García, Balde, Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, and Fermín Lopez have already been to the infirmary or are still there.
Verdict of doctors: muscle rupture at the femoral biceps of the left foot
Lewandowski returns there, after being injured from the Poland national. Barcelona's goal man played all 90 minutes against Lithuania (2-0) on Sunday, in the World Cup preliminaries, and scored the second goal in 2-0 victory. But in Barcelona he returned with “a discomfort”.
On Tuesday morning, the 37 -year -old striker was subjected to medical tests at the CiuTaT Epportiva training center, and the doctors' conclusion was tough: muscle break at the femoral biceps of the left foot.
The club also posted a statement on the social networks: “Robert Lewandowski has a break at the femoral biceps of the left foot. It is unavailable, and the recovery time will depend on how it evolves.”
Robert Lewandowski had problems in the same area of foot
Lewandowski was the client of doctors in August, when he accused muscle problems in the same area of the foot. At that time, he was unavailable for two weeks and missed the “Joan Gamper trophy”, as well as the opening match of the championship, against Mallorca.
Now that it is a break, and its absence will definitely be longer. In any case, long enough so that his presence in El Clasico, scheduled on October 26, on Santiago Bernabeu, is in great danger. Three other important players, the titular goalkeeper Joan Garcia, Captain Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and especially Lamine Yamal are unavailable.
Barcelona would have decided not to expand Robert Lewandowski's contract no longer
Including Lamine is uncertain for El Clasico, and coach Hansi Flick has started an investigation to find the cause of so many muscle injuries that affect the team. Barcelona lost the last two official matches held: 1-2 with PSG, in the Champions League, on their own ground, and 1-4 with FC Sevilla, in La Liga, “Sanchez Pijzuan”.
“Lewa” is also in a delicate situation, as, according to the daily Sport, Barcelona decided not to extend his agreement in 2026. The player's businessman, Pini Zahavi, said that “we have not yet made a decision. We are waiting and we will see what happens in the next few days.”
