Barcelona Blow: Lewandowski Out Against Atletico

Barcelona has suffered a blow as Robert Lewandowski will miss the Copa del Rey second leg against Atletico Madrid. The Polish striker sustained a fractured bone in his left eye socket during the match against Villarreal.

Lewandowski was injured in the 88th minute of the match against Villarreal, colliding with defender Pau Navarro. Despite the injury, he managed to finish the game and score a goal.

Medical examinations confirmed the fracture, forcing Hansi Flick to adjust his plans for the crucial match against Atletico. Barcelona needs to overturn a 4-0 deficit from the first leg.

Lewandowski's return date will depend on the reduction of swelling and the progress of his condition.
