Lewandowski Faces Injury Setback While on International Duty

Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski has sustained a hamstring injury during his time with the national team, which will sideline him for an extended period.

Injury Details

The 37-year-old striker has made a notable impact this season, netting four goals in seven league appearances for his club. However, the Polish international is now expected to miss several weeks of action due to this hamstring issue, as confirmed by the team’s management.

“Robert Lewandowski has incurred a hamstring injury in his left thigh. His return will be contingent on the progress of the recovery,” stated the club.

Career Reflections

Recently, Lewandowski addressed comments regarding his age and the implications for his ongoing career, emphasizing that he continues to perform at a high level despite growing speculation about his future.

“I wouldn’t label myself a ‘victim’ of my age, but there are those who take advantage of that narrative. I feel I’m in excellent shape!” he remarked.

He acknowledged the changes in his perspective towards the game, stating, “I don’t anticipate playing a full 90 minutes in every match, but when I’m on the pitch, I know I can deliver strong performances.”

Future Speculations

Lewandowski’s contract is set to expire at the end of the current season. This has drawn interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the Premier League. Reports indicate that Barcelona is considering a younger alternative to replace him, and the recent injury may complicate his chances of remaining with the team beyond this season.
