Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has issued a positive fitness update after Poland’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying win on Monday.
Lewandowski started the game on the bench, after [admitting to feeling some discomfort](https://www.barcablaugranes.com/2025/3/22/24391520/big-problem-barcelona-striker-robert-lewandowski-offers-update-substituted), but did come on in the second half.
The striker was quizzed on his fitness after the game and says he is now feeling good as he prepares to resume action with Barcelona.
> “There’s no injury, sometimes something hurts for two or three days, sometimes it goes away. Everything was fine, today I came in without any problems. I feel much better than before the training camp, because I had some discomfort in the last three games, for example the fact that I couldn’t kick with my right leg even once, even during the warm-ups. Now everything is back to normal, so it’s a plus that I’m back to the fitness I had two or three weeks ago,” he told reporters.

> “I prepared for the end of the season to maintain that freshness. I knew this season would be different than usual, because in January there was the Champions League and then the playoffs. I’m not going to lie.
>
> “Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought about giving everything during these last two, two and a half months and maintaining this freshness and dynamic.”
