Robert Lewandowski could miss the first month of the new La Liga season as updates regarding an injury issue for the 36-year-old have emerged.

The experienced forward’s involvement over the final stretch of last season was limited by a hamstring complaint. In a concerning development, Barcelona confirmed that it is an injury to the same muscle which will stop Lewandowski from featuring against Como for the Joan Gamper Trophy this weekend.

It's a blow for FC Barcelona this Friday, coming with only eight days to go before the league kicks off again. In an official medical statement, Barça confirmed a minor injury for Robert Lewandowski. The Polish striker has suffered an issue with his left thigh and will miss the Gamper Trophy clash against Como on Sunday.
