Injured Wednesday evening during Porto-Barcelona in the Champions League (0-1), Robert Lewandowski could miss the upcoming Clasico.
Bad news confirmed for FC Barcelona. The day after the premature exit of Robert Lewandowski, victim of a tackle during the Champions League group match won Wednesday evening by the Catalans against FC Porto, the examinations taken by the Polish striker delivered their verdict. Grade 2 sprain to the left ankle, with a duration of unavailability currently estimated at between three and four weeks.
However, just after the match, the medical staff wanted to be rather reassuring, but as stated A.S. this Thursday, the injury is finally more serious. There is therefore a strong probability that the former Bayern Munich player will miss the clash against Real Madrid scheduled for October 28. One thing is already clear, Robert Lewandowski will not be on the field against Granada on October 8, nor against Athletic Bilbao on the 22nd, after the international break.
Early return possible?
Then comes October 25 with the reception of the Ukrainians from Shakhtar Donetsk before the famous “Clasico” which will be played in Barcelona. Blaugrana supporters still want to believe in an early return of the current second top scorer in La Liga this season (five goals, one less than Jude Bellingham).
