Lewandowski Trains with Mask Ahead of Athletic Club Return

FC Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski trained with a protective mask on Wednesday, targeting a return against Athletic Club this weekend.

The 37-year-old continues his recovery from a facial fracture sustained during the match against Villarreal. Barcelona missed his goal-scoring presence during the recent loss to Atletico Madrid, but Hansi Flick is hopeful the star can return this weekend.

"It wasn't fun, it was a tough challenge for me," Lewandowski said about playing with the mask.
