Robert Lewandowski will miss both legs of holders Bayern Munich’s Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain after being ruled out for nearly a month with a knee injury, the Bundesliga giants said on Tuesday .
“The striker will be out for around four weeks”, Bayern said in a statement, confirming Lewandowski injured ligaments in his right knee after scoring twice in Poland’s 3-0 win over Andorra on Sunday in 2022 World Cup qualifying. The 32-year-old will also miss Saturday’s top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash at second-placed RB Leipzig, with leaders Bayern four points clear. Lewandowski is also out of Poland’s World Cup qualifier against England at Wembley on Wednesday.
Bayern host PSG in the last-eight, first leg on April 7, before visiting the Parc des Princes for the return game on April 13. Without Lewandowski, Bayern’s reserve striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting or Germany winger Serge Gnabry could play up front. The Poland international has netted 35 goals in 25 league games this season to leave him close to Gerd Mueller’s record of 40 in a single Bundesliga season.
