Lewandowski Returns To Bayern Munich Training Following Knee Injury

Bayern Munich’s top-scorer Robert Lewandowski has resumed training on Monday, 12th April, following a knee injury, but the club ruled him out of their Champions League quarter-final at Paris Saint-Germain.

Bayern stated that Lewandowski “is not available” for Tuesday’s second-leg in Paris. The holders would need to overturn a 3-2 defeat after PSG striker Kylian Mbappe scored twice in Munich at last week’s first leg.

Lewandowski, 32, who was also voted FIFA’s best male player of 2020, injured ligaments in his right knee a fortnight ago while on international duty with Poland.

Bayern’s medical staff had earlier said he would be out for four weeks, but the striker participated in running exercises on Monday as Bayern trained during a snowfall in Munich.

Lewandowski has scored 35 league goals this season, leaving him just five short of Gerd Mueller’s all-time Bundesliga record set in 1971/72.
