Barcelona, the leader of the Spanish football league, announced today, Sunday, that their player Robert Lewandowski suffered a hamstring injury after being forced to leave the field during his team's 4-3 victory over Celta Vigo last Saturday. The Polish striker, who played his 100th match in the Spanish league yesterday, left the field holding his leg in the final minutes of the match, which ended with Barcelona securing a win in the 98th minute, maintaining their league lead. The Catalan club stated in a press release that "the tests conducted today confirmed an injury to the first team player Robert Lewandowski in the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh." The statement added that "his return to group training will depend on the progress of his condition." The club did not specify a return date, but the injury may prevent the 36-year-old player, who has scored 40 goals this season, from participating in the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid early next week. According to Spanish media reports, he may be sidelined for three weeks, which could be a painful blow for Barcelona as they face Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals in the coming weeks. It is worth mentioning that Lewandowski leads the list of top scorers in the Spanish league this season with 25 goals, surpassing Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid by three goals.
