Summary of this article
  • Robert Lewandowski's injury comes in the same area that forced him to miss Barcelona's Copa del Rey win over Real Madrid

  • The 36-year-old finished as the Blaugrana's top scorer in 2024-25 after netting 42 games across all competitions

  • On-loan Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford is a potential replacement

Barcelona will be without Robert Lewandowski for their clash against Como for the Joan Gamper Trophy after picking up a hamstring injury. 

The La Liga champions also confirmed that Dani Olmo trained separately to the rest of the group due to a "small physical issue", with Ferran Torres also a doubt. 

It leaves Hansi Flick with few options to lead his line on Sunday, with on-loan Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford a potential replacement. 

Lewandowski's injury comes in the same area that forced him to miss Barcelona's Copa del Rey triumph over rivals Real Madrid back in April. 

The 36-year-old finished as the Blaugrana's top scorer in 2024-25 after netting 42 games across all competitions. 

He also played 52 times last season, a tally only bettered by Pedri (59), Raphinha (57), Pau Cubarsi (56), Lamine Yamal (55) and Jules Kounde (53). 

"The first team player Robert Lewandowski has a hamstring problem in his left thigh," Barcelona said in a statement on Friday. 

"The striker is unavailable for Sunday's game and his recovery will determine his return."

Barcelona's clash with Cesc Fabregas' side is their final pre-season outing before their opening LaLiga fixture against Mallorca on August 16.
