Barcelona is facing a potential setback as their star striker Robert Lewandowski sustained a thigh injury during Saturday’s La Liga match against Celta Vigo. The timing couldn’t be more critical, with the Catalan giants set to face Inter in the Champions League semifinals.

Head coach Hansi Flick addressed the situation in post-match interviews, stating that Lewandowski will undergo medical tests on Sunday. “We must be patient and see what the results show,” Flick told DAZN España. He reiterated this stance during the press conference, emphasizing the need to wait for more information.

The first leg of the semifinal is scheduled for April 30 in Barcelona, with the return leg taking place on May 6 at San Siro. Lewandowski’s potential absence could significantly impact Barcelona’s chances, given his impressive tally of 11 Champions League goals this season – surpassing Inter’s Lautaro Martinez by three, despite the Argentine boasting a better minute-per-goal ratio in the competition.

Lewandowski has been in phenomenal form across all competitions this term, netting 40 goals in 48 appearances. His goal-scoring prowess has been instrumental in Barcelona’s success, making his fitness a crucial factor in their upcoming Champions League campaign.

As Barcelona holds its breath, the medical tests scheduled for Sunday will provide crucial insight into Lewandowski’s availability for the highly anticipated clash against Inter. The outcome of these tests could potentially reshape the dynamics of the upcoming semifinal matchup.
