Robert Lewandowski ruled for 4 weeks for Miss Bayern Munich’s Champions League tie vs. PSG

The Bundesliga giants said that Robert Lewandowski would miss almost a month of injury in the Bayern Munich Champions League quarter-final against Leigh Saint-Germain. After scoring twice after Poland’s 3–0 win over Andorra on Sunday in World Cup qualifying, Lewandowski said in a statement, confirming the injured ligaments in his right knee, “the striker will be out for about four weeks”.

The 32-year-old will also miss second-placed RB Leipzig in the top-ranked Bundesliga clash on Saturday, with leader Bayern four points clear.

Lewandowski is also out of Poland’s qualifier against England at Wembley on Wednesday.

Bayern host PSG in the final-8 first leg on April 7, before visiting the Paras des Princes for the comeback game on 13 April.

Without Lewandowski, Bayern reserve striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Motting or Germany’s winger Serge Gnobry could play in front.

The Poland International has scored 35 goals in 25 league games this season, leaving him close to Gerd Müller’s record of 40 in the Bundesliga season.

Even in Lewandowski’s absence, RB Leipzig insisted that they would not take Bayern lightly.

Leipzig’s sports director Marcus Croche told Daily Breed before Lewansky’s diagnosis that “Bayern would have a strong team on the pitch – even without Lewandowski.”

“Basically, you don’t want to hurt on anyone, but it is already the case that we are focusing on our own performance.”

Lewandowski voted as the best male player of FIFA 2020, scoring a total of 42 goals in 36 matches for Bayern this season.
