Barcelona s forward line is in a hurry! Lewandowski s old injury recurses, two substitutes are suspicious to save the fire

2:19am, 9 August 2025【Football】

Barcelona club suffered a major blow, and the striker Robert Lewandows, who has a genetic injury, will miss the Gambel Cup this weekend against Cuomo, and his injury has caused concerns. The

club issued a statement on Friday confirming: "First team player Robert Lewandowski has problems with his left thigh hamstring. The player will miss Sunday's game, and his return date depends on recovery." It is worrying that the injury is the same as the hamstring injury that plagued him at the end of last season, which had affected his appearance at the end of the season.

Lewandows missed the first leg of the Cup final and the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan due to his first injury to the same part in April this year. In the second leg, he made a substitute when Barcelona led the total score, but because Inter Milan tied in overtime in the 93rd minute, his playing time was far beyond expectations. Lewandowski was subsequently a key national derby against Real Madrid, and Lewandowski was not activated.

Although Lewandowski is known for his excellent physical management, he will turn 37 later this month and is still the team's top scorer last season and plays 52 games (ranked 6th in the team in terms of appearances), the relapse of the old injury is still unclear. Spanish media Daily Sports did not provide its specific recovery timetable. To make matters worse, there were also problems with the main candidates for coach Hansi Flick's plan to replace Lewandowski, Danny Ormo and Ferran Torres, which were described by the newspaper as "question". Olmo missed the team's most recent training, believed to be a precautionary measure. The Spanish international missed 20 games last season due to three different muscle problems. Torres missed Friday morning training due to a "muscle strain".

In the Gambel Cup against Cuomo (and the occasion of Fabregas returning to Catalonia), Frick Shank uses Marcus Rashford as center. However, the situation has become complicated for the upcoming first round of La Liga against Majorca, which will start on August 16. Rashford and other Barcelona new players have not completed the league registration. Worse, the agency responsible for auditing the club's finances experienced administrative errors, further delaying the registration process.
