Good news for FC Barcelona, striker Robert Lewandowski has returned to training with the group.
According to SPORT, Robert Lewandowski returned to the group at Ciudad Deportiva today, a day after Barça’s 2-1 defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Barça stated on October 14, reporting that he had torn a muscle in his left hamstring during the international break with the Polish national team.
The statement did not specify the exact length of time he would be out, but now, almost two weeks later, the players are taking part in group sessions, so his return could be in time for the match against Elche this weekend.
For Barcelona, the return of their star striker to training is an important step towards regrouping after the setback of El Clasico.
Lewandowski’s presence on the field is important for Barcelona. In the previous 2024-25 season, he was a relentless attacking force, scoring 27 goals in 34 La Liga appearances. His average of 0.91 goals per 90 minutes highlights his exceptional ability as a finisher.
His return to training is a welcome sign as manager Hansi Flick prepares his team for the upcoming matches.
The club will be looking to move on from the Clasico and prepare for the match in general: the return of the No. 9 gives the team a key player in the box who has been sorely missed this season.
