Official: Barcelona Hit by Major Injury Blow as Top Scorer Sidelined
FC Barcelona have been dealt a major setback after their star striker Robert Lewandowski picked up an injury during their recent La Liga clash against Celta Vigo.
The club confirmed via an official statement that medical tests conducted earlier today revealed a strain in Lewandowski’s left hamstring. The Polish forward is now sidelined indefinitely, with no confirmed timeline for his return to full training.
The injury comes at a particularly crucial time for the team. Lewandowski has been in sensational form this season, netting a remarkable 40 goals across all competitions: 25 in La Liga, 11 in the UEFA Champions League, three in the Copa del Rey, and one in the Spanish Super Cup.
This has been Lewandowski’s most prolific campaign in a Barcelona shirt since his arrival from Bayern Munich, underlining his irreplaceable role in the team’s attacking setup.
The timing couldn’t be worse for the Catalan giants. Over the next two weeks, Barça face a challenging run of fixtures that could define their season: a league clash with RCD Mallorca on April 22, the Copa del Rey Final against arch-rivals Real Madrid on April 26, and a blockbuster Champions League semi-final first leg versus Inter Milan on April 29.
