Barcelona fans have been handed a huge boost, with star striker Robert Lewandowski returning to training sooner than expected.
The Polish forward was forced to sit out Barça’s La Liga opener against RCD Mallorca on Saturday night after picking up a muscular injury in the final week of pre-season.
At the time, the concern was serious — omo this one almost pain Barça fans die! Early reports suggested that Lewandowski could miss the club’s first three fixtures of the campaign.
But omo, things have taken a sweet turn. According to fresh updates, the 35-year-old has made faster progress than initially expected. On Sunday morning, Lewandowski was spotted participating in group activities with the rest of Hansi Flick’s squad at Ciutat Esportiva.
This early return is a major relief for the Catalan giants, who rely heavily on Lewandowski’s firepower in attack. His presence upfront remains crucial as Barça chase back-to-back La Liga titles under new boss Flick.
The hope within the camp is now clear — Lewandowski could be fit and available for selection when Barcelona face Levante next weekend.
Omo, if he makes it back in time, Barça fans go jubilate! With fixtures piling up early in the season, having their veteran goalscorer leading the line could be the difference between a strong start and early stumbles.
For now, the signs look positive, but the medical staff will continue to monitor his recovery closely before making a final decision.
