Injury Update

Robert Lewandowski suffered an injury during the recent match against Villarreal. According to a statement from Barcelona, medical evaluations revealed that he has a fracture in his left eye socket.

Upcoming Matches

“He will not participate in the upcoming match against Atletico Madrid.”

Barcelona, the reigning champions of the Copa del Rey, experienced a significant setback with a 4-0 loss against Diego Simeone’s squad in the first leg earlier this month.

Player Performance

At 37 years old, Lewandowski has had a limited role within the team this season, frequently finding himself on the bench as coach Xavi has opted to field Ferran Torres instead. In a recent appearance as a substitute, the former Bayern Munich forward scored the fourth goal for Barcelona during their 4-1 victory over Villarreal last Saturday.
