The 37-year-old has already scored four league goals in seven games for the Spanish side, all of which have come in the league. However, the Polish striker will now be out for several weeks with a hamstring injury, as confirmed by the club.
“Robert Lewandowski has suffered a hamstring injury in his left thigh. He will be sidelined, and his recovery time will depend on how the injury progresses.”
This week, the veteran recently spoke on those quoting his age and how his career may be coming to an end, despite him still finding the back of the net.
“I’m not saying I’m a “victim” of my age, but… there are those who exploit that. I feel in excellent condition!"
“I don’t expect to play 90 every match, and my view of football has changed a little, but when I’m on the field I know I can do great.”
Lewandowski has attracted attention from Saudi Arabia as well as the Premier League due to his contract running out at the end of the season. Reports suggest he will leave Barcelona as they look for a younger replacement, and this injury won’t help his case in staying past this season.
