Lewandowski Out for Copa del Rey Semi-Final vs Atletico Madrid

Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski will miss the second leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid.

The current LaLiga leaders are facing a 4-1 deficit from the first leg.

Barcelona will have to mount a comeback without Lewandowski, who sustained a fractured eye socket.

The club confirmed the injury in a statement on Sunday.

The announcement read: “Lewandowski got hurt in the game against Villarreal.

“Medical tests showed a fracture in his left eye socket.

“He won’t play against Atletico Madrid.”

The 37-year-old has seen limited playing time this season, with coach Hansi Flick favouring Ferran Torres in the central role. Nevertheless, Lewandowski found the net in their 4-1 victory over Villarreal on Saturday.
