Barcelona have confirmed that striker Robert Lewandowski will not be facing Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final clash at Camp Nou.
Recall that Barca will be hoping to overturn a 4-goal deficit in the second leg of the competition.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Barca said, “Lewandowski picked up an injury in the recent game against Villarreal. Tests have diagnosed a fracture of the left eye socket,” said Barcelona in a statement.

“He will miss the game against Atletico Madrid.”
Lewandowski, 37, has played a bit-part role for Barca this season, often left on the bench in favour of Ferran Torres.
On as a substitute, the former Bayern Munich striker netted LaLiga leaders Barca’s fourth goal in the 4-1 win over Villarreal on Saturday.
