    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Lewandowski suffered a muscle injury during Barcelona's 4-3 win over Celta Vigo last month, which saw him miss five games, including the Copa del Rey final as well as the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Inter. However, he returned to action as a second-half substitute in the second leg against the Nerazzurri. He was an unused substitute against Real Madrid in their league Clasico on May 11, raising doubts over his fitness. Cubarsi, on the other hand, suffered a minor injury scare following a strong challenge from Lewandowski in training.

  • WHAT HANSI FLICK SAID

    Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Flick provided an update on Cubarsi's fitness (h/t Barca Universal): “He’s fine. He has finished training after the knock and tomorrow he can play.”

    The reporters also asked about Lewandowski's availability, with Flick set to miss out on the services of Ferran Torres after the Spaniard underwent an emergency appendectomy surgery on Wednesday. The German manager added: "[Lewandowski's] fine and he's ready to play."
