Barcelona’s medical team has officially confirmed that the Polish striker has suffered a left hamstring injury. Typically, such an injury would sideline a player for about three weeks. However, sources close to the player suggest significant updates will emerge in the coming days.

Polish media reports indicate that no one, including Lewandowski himself, dares to predict an exact return date for the crucial final stages of the season.

According to Polish outlet Meczyki, Lewandowski and Barcelona’s medical staff have opted to continue standard recovery protocols while awaiting further tests scheduled for late next week. These results will be pivotal in determining when he can return.

In recent years, Barcelona’s medical team has noted Lewandowski’s exceptional physical resilience, often recovering faster than expected from muscle injuries.

Given the importance of upcoming matches, the club is proceeding with utmost caution. The result of Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal first leg against Inter Milan could influence the final decision on his return.

Currently, it’s confirmed that Lewandowski will miss Saturday’s Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid at La Cartuja and the first leg against Inter at Montjuïc. Beyond that, all possibilities remain open.

The Polish media emphasizes that nothing is finalized yet, but if Lewandowski’s body responds as it typically does, he might return sooner than projected, potentially even for the Champions League semifinal second leg.

No one wants to rush the recovery process or take unnecessary risks, but everyone acknowledges Lewandowski’s crucial role in Hansi Flick’s system, with the Champions League being the season’s primary objective. His availability for the second leg remains uncertain, pending final medical test results next week.
