Barcelona hit by Robert Lewandowski injury blow ahead of Copa del Rey Clasico

Barcelona have been hit by a massive injury blow after losing top scorer Robert Lewandowski to injury.

The Catalans have confirmed that the striker is out with a hamstring strain following Sunday’s shock defeat to Almeria.

Lewandowski will therefore miss Thursday’s Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and joins Pedri and Ousmane Dembele on the injury list.

There’s no word from Barcelona as to how much time Lewandowski will miss, but early reports reckon he’s out for at last two weeks.
