The 36-year-old Polish international was substituted in the second half of Saturday's dramatic 4–3 comeback victory over Celta Vigo. Subsequent medical examinations conducted at the club's training facility on Sunday revealed an issue with the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh.
"Tests carried out this Sunday have confirmed that first-team player Robert Lewandowski has an injury to the semitendinosus muscle in his left thigh," read an official statement from the club. "His return to team training will depend on how the injury progresses."
While the club has not publicly disclosed a timeline for Lewandowski's recovery, sources told ESPN that he is a major doubt for both the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid in Seville this Saturday and the first leg of Barcelona's Champions League semifinal against Inter Milan on April 30. The team also faces a LaLiga clash with Mallorca on Tuesday as they look to maintain momentum in the title race.
Lewandowski's absence would be a significant blow for Barca manager Hansi Flick, under whom the veteran striker has played a pivotal role this season. The forward has scored an impressive 40 goals in all competitions, helping to keep the Catalan club competitive on all fronts as they enter the final phase of the campaign.
Currently leading the LaLiga scoring charts with 25 goals, Lewandowski is the frontrunner for the Golden Boot, ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's Kylian Mbappe (22 goals), Osasuna's Ante Budimir (16), and a group including Raphinha and Oihan Sancet, each with 15 goals.
The injury comes at a particularly challenging time for Barcelona, who are also monitoring the fitness of defender Alejandro Balde. The left-back has missed the last two matches due to a hamstring issue of his own, further complicating the squad's readiness ahead of a decisive period in their season.
Lewandowski's condition will continue to be assessed in the coming days, with Barcelona medical staff closely monitoring his rehabilitation.
