The reigning La Liga champions have put no timescale on the Polish striker’s recovery, but it is being reported that he could be sidelined for several weeks. If that proves to be the case, then the veteran frontman will miss a Clasico clash with Real Madrid on October 26.
Lewandowski played the full 90 minutes for Poland in their latest 2026 World Cup qualifier against Lithuania. He was on target in that contest, taking his international goal tally to 87 through 161 appearances.
He has told reporters of wanting to become a centaur on the goal front: "I'm only 13 goals away from 100. There are still a few games left this year, and next year too. I'm happy with every goal. We'll see what happens."
The 37-year-old did, however, complain of experiencing discomfort after said outing for his country.
He was sent for medical tests after informing Barca of the issues regarding his left leg. It has been confirmed that Lewandowski will require a period of rest.
A statement on Barcelona’s official website read: “Robert Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury in his left thigh. He will be sidelined, and his recovery time will depend on how the injury progresses.
“The Polish striker has scored four goals in nine appearances so far in the 2025-26 season. His tally includes a brace against Valencia and goals against Oviedo and Real Sociedad. This season, he has also scored two goals for Poland, the most recent coming during the October international break against Lithuania.
