Why is Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski not playing in Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan?
Barcelona take on Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals this Wednesday, but there will be no Robert Lewandowski. The Polish international is set to miss the first leg of this blockbuster tie against Simone Inzaghi‘s side, meaning Hansi Flick will have to find an alternative. Lewandowski has enjoyed an excellent season, but he is currently missingGetty The former Bayern Munich man played no part in the crazy Copa del Rey final at the weekend against Real Madrid either. Thankfully for him, his teammates got the job done, beating their bitter rivals 3-2. But the big games keep coming for Barcelona, and Lewandowski is nowhere to be seen. Why is Robert Lewandowski not playing for Barcelona? Barcelona are without their star man due to a hamstring injury. The striker has a remarkable fitness record, but he was withdrawn during Barca’s 4-3 win over Celta Vigo in mid-April on 78 minutes. It was later revealed he’d suffered a hamstring problem, with the severity of it still to be determined but it isn’t expected to be bad. As a result, he played no part in a 1-0 victory over Mallorca or the Copa del Rey final, and he won’t be involved in this match either. It’s a huge blow for Barca, given he’s scored 11 times in the Champions League this season. What is even more worrying for the LaLiga giants as they chase a treble is that Lewandowski is a doubt for the return leg at the San Siro as well. Lewandowski is proof that age is only a number as he continues to score goalsGetty Speaking recently about the striker’s injury and possible return date, Flick said: “We don’t know yet how long it will be. “When he’s ready, we’ll happily welcome him back. There’s no need to rush it.” Barcelona vs Inter Milan: talkSPORT coverage This Champions League semi-final first leg is set to take place on Wednesday, April 30.
