How many games will Lewandowski miss? The '9', out for the start of LaLiga

Robert Lewandowski is injured, as reported by FC Barcelona in their medical report. The Polish attacker presented muscular discomfort in the biceps femoris of his left thigh at the end of Friday's practice and will not be in the Sunday match against Como for the Joam Gamper trophy.

“His evolution will mark his availability”, indicates the statement about a possible return of the Pole. 'Lewy', who is the starting center forward, comes from participating in all the commitments of the Asian tour, where he scored 2 goals and distributed 1 assist. The two celebrations were in South Korea, one against FC Seoul and another against FC Daegu.

Lewandowski could miss the first three league games

In principle, Robert is aiming for a recovery time of three weeks. This would force him to miss the first three league games, against Mallorca, Levante and Rayo Vallecano. Three matches where Hansi Flick's team will be visitors due to the works at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Since his arrival at the EA Sports League in the summer of 2022, Lewandowski has scored one goal against the Balearic team, while he has scored three times against the Vallecas team, being one of his favorite victims in Spanish territory.

The Polish attacker scored 42 goals in 52 games in the last year and distributed 3 assists, being the top scorer of the blaugrana team. Without a doubt, it will be a very sensitive loss for the league start. Next August 21st he will be turning 37 years old, just a couple of days before the visit to Levante, a team that returns to Primera after three years in the silver category.

Robert Lewandowski will try to shorten his recovery with Barça

Thus, Robert Lewandowski could return after the international break, when the blaugrana club plays its first match as local against Valencia, the weekend between September 13 and 14. This, in principle, will be the official return to the Spotify Camp Nou, with a partial capacity of 27,000 spectators.

However, the Polish journalist Tomasz Wlodarczyk, close to the environment of the striker of the azulgrana club, affirms that 'Lewy' intends to return for the next August 23rd when Barça visits Levante. This, as long as he manages to shorten his recovery and return to training normally in the coming weeks.

Last season, the Pole missed the Copa del Rey final and the first leg of the Champions League 'semis' against Inter Milan due to a muscular injury that diminished his performance in the last month of competition. Therefore, Hansi Flick will take maximum care of him this year to try to preserve his scoring potential and role as Pichichi of the team.
