Lewandowski's hamstring injury adds to Barca woes

Madrid, Oct 15 (UNI) FC Barcelona's injury concerns deepened as striker Robert Lewandowski became the latest player sidelined with a muscle injury.
The Polish forward sustained a hamstring problem in his left thigh while on international duty, Barcelona confirmed in a medical report. The club did not specify a recovery time, but Spanish daily Diario AS estimated an absence of around four weeks.
Lewandowski is the third Barca player to return injured during the international break. Midfielder Dani Olmo picked up a calf injury in training with Spain and is expected to miss three weeks, while Ferran Torres left Spain's squad with a slight muscle strain but should be fit for Saturday's La Liga home match against Girona.
