BARCELONA striker Robert Lewandowski faces a race against time to be fit for the new La Liga season after suffering a hamstring injury.
The club confirmed the Polish forward has a thigh problem but did not provide a timeline for his recovery.
Lewandowski will miss Sunday’s pre-season friendly against Como due to the setback.
His absence raises concerns about his availability for Barcelona’s league opener against Mallorca on August 16.
The 36-year-old scored 42 goals in 52 games across all competitions last season.
His contributions were instrumental as Barcelona secured a domestic treble under manager Hansi Flick.
