"The veteran forward, who hasn't had the best of seasons so far, picked up a knock during Poland's game against Lithuania. Although the forward played the entire match despite discomfort, it was revealed after the game that the player had picked up a muscle tear. The former Bayern Munich star was subsequently ruled out for four to six weeks, adding to Barcelona's frustration."
"The Pole's reaction is warranted given that he is destined to miss out on Barcelona's all-important Clasico against Real Madrid later this weekend. The presence of Lewandowski could have been handy for Barcelona, especially considering the fact that the team also lost Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres due to injuries. Lewandowski, for his part, had a point to prove after a slow start to the season that has led to speculation over his future."
Robert Lewandowski sustained a muscle tear after Poland's match against Lithuania and will be sidelined for four to six weeks. He completed the match despite discomfort but was later diagnosed with the injury. The forward reacted angrily upon learning the extent of the injury. His absence rules him out of Barcelona's upcoming Clasico at the Santiago Bernabeu and compounds an already stretched squad that has also lost Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres to injury. Lewandowski had struggled early in the season and lost opportunities to prove himself; Barcelona will rely on Raphinha's return and increased match fitness from Lamine Yamal.
