FC Barcelona has suffered a huge setback. Robert Lewandowski has been diagnosed with a muscle tear in the biceps femoris of his left thigh, as confirmed by Mundo Deportivo.
The Polish striker is expected to be out for 4 to 6 weeks — a critical absence that means he will miss the El Clásico against Real Madrid.
This is a major blow for Barça, losing their top scorer right before one of the most important matches of the season. The Catalan club must now find an urgent attacking solution to fill the void left by Lewandowski.
FC Barcelona is facing a wave of injuries just days before El Clásico. Lamine Yamal, who had only just returned, has suffered a setback due to recurring pubic pain and is now doubtful for the October 26 showdown. The attacking line is heavily weakened: Dani Olmo is sidelined with a soleus tear, Ferran Torres is managing muscle overload, and Raphinha is highly doubtful for the upcoming match, although he may return shortly after.
Between uncertainties and confirmed absences, Xavi may be forced to take on Real Madrid without several key players. It’s a full-blown injury crisis hitting Barça at the worst possible moment, threatening their preparations for one of the most important games of the season.
