Lewandowski Returns
The Best News for Flick in Today’s Barcelona Training
The Polish striker joined group training today after Barça’s victory over Valladolid, preparing for the match against Inter.
According to reports, Barcelona resumed training this morning at the Joan Gamper Sports Complex, focusing on a decisive week that could define their season.
After the 2-1 victory over Real Valladolid, Hansi Flick’s team prepares for the Champions League semi-final second leg against Inter Milan on Tuesday at the Giuseppe Meazza, followed by El Clásico against Real Madrid on Sunday, which will determine La Liga’s fate.
The biggest news from today’s training was the return of Robert Lewandowski. After recovering from a left thigh injury sustained two weeks ago against Celta Vigo, he completed full training with the group.
The Polish striker, who has repeatedly shown a good understanding of his body, will be ready for the Champions League semi-final second leg, contrary to predictions of a three-to-four-week absence.
Given Ferran Torres’ brilliance in Lewandowski’s absence, which included decisive goals in the Copa del Rey final and the first leg of the semi-final, Lewandowski is not expected to start in Milan. However, he may come on in the second half depending on the game’s flow and Barça’s need to break Inter’s defense.
Pedri is definitely out, and Gavi, who was injured last night, will have no problem playing against Inter.
