Robert Lewandowski injured his thigh. He is missing from his club and possibly also from the national team. For the Pole, the loss is also bitter because of the question of the future.
Coach Hansi Flick will have to do without star striker Robert Lewandowski at FC Barcelona in the coming weeks. The 37-year-old Pole tore a muscle in his left thigh, as the Spanish champions announced without specifying any specific downtime. “His recovery time depends on the further progression of the injury.”
Lewandowski was most recently in action with the Polish national team in the World Cup qualifiers; the former Bundesliga top scorer for Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich scored the final score in the 2-0 win in Lithuania. Poland can still hope for a direct World Cup ticket, but Lewandowski’s return in time for the decisive duel with the Dutch on November 14th is questionable.
The attacker will definitely not be available to FC Barcelona in the coming games. This is also bitter for Lewandowski because he is currently fighting for his sporting future. The newspaper “Sport” recently reported that the Pole’s expiring contract would no longer be extended. The search for a successor has already begun for the Catalans around head coach Flick.
