Robert Lewandowski Faces Injury Ahead of Key Matches

Striker Robert Lewandowski is facing a hamstring injury that may prevent him from participating in Barcelona's upcoming match against Real Madrid later this month.

The 37-year-old forward, who scored for Poland in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying victory over Lithuania on Sunday, will miss his club's La Liga fixture against Girona this weekend.

Following the Girona match, Barcelona will compete against Olympiakos in the Champions League next Tuesday, before facing Real Madrid in El Clasico at the Bernabeu on October 26.

While Barcelona has not specified the duration of Lewandowski's absence, reports from Spanish media suggest that he could be sidelined for approximately four weeks.

In an official statement, Barcelona confirmed, "Robert Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury in his left thigh. He will be sidelined, and his recovery time will depend on how the injury progresses."

Lewandowski has scored four goals in nine appearances for the La Liga champions this season. He joins several teammates, including Raphinha, Gavi, Dani Olmo, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, and Joan Garcia, on the injury list.

On a positive note, forwards Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez have returned to training.
