Robert Lewandowski

Barcelona star passes fitness test, ready and available to take on Las Palmas

Given that there is an 11-day gap between Saturday’s fixture against Las Palmas and the first leg of Barcelona’s Champions League quarter-final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain, it is expected that Xavi Hernandez will play a full-strength side for that match against the Gran Canaria-based side this weekend.

This includes Robert Lewandowski, whose availability for the match-up was in question earlier this week, as he returned from international duty – where he played 210 minutes across two matches – with fatigue and discomfort.

However, MD have reported that Lewandowski has passed a fitness test with flying colours, which has shown that his condition is 100%. As such, he is primed to take his place in the starting line-up against Las Palmas.

This is a blow for Vitor Roque, who had been expected to replace Lewandowski if he was unable to start. The 19-year-old, who has managed just one start since arriving from Athletico Paranaense in January, now looks set to take his place on the Barcelona bench once again.
