<p>Barcelona manager Flick has offered a positive update on Lewandowski’s recovery from a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/robert-lewandowski-picks-up-injury-celta-vigo-draw-hansi-flick-side-suffer-double-blow-la-liga-title-race/blt426aca00854532a7" target="_blank">hamstring injury sustained during the 4-3 win over Celta Vigo</a> in April. Flick’s encouraging remarks will come as a welcome boost for fans, with the striker’s potential return ahead of next week’s crucial Champions League semi-final second leg against Inter raising hopes within the squad.  </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lewandowski has been in sensational form for Barcelona this season, netting 40 goals in just 48 appearances and ranking among the Champions League’s top scorers. While <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/beware-shark-ferran-torres-fill-robert-lewandowski-boots-keep-barcelona-treble-chase-on-track/bltb9736367f718a90e" target="_blank">Ferran Torres has stepped up admirably in his absence</a>, the Polish international’s experience and attacking intelligence could prove decisive in a high-stakes encounter like the second leg against Inter at San Siro, with the tie finely poised at 3-3. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Friday, Flick said (h/t <a href="https://getfootballnewsspain.com/hansi-flick-confirms-positive-barcelona-injury-news-for-inter-milan-clash/" target="_blank">Get Spanish Football News</a>): “Yes, Robert could be there against Inter, he’s doing well and progressing. He’s doing much better than we thought, but we have to wait. We know he’s a professional; he might be there this Tuesday.” </p>

WHAT HANSI FLICK SAID

<p>Before the Catalans can dream of upstaging Inter to book their place in the Champions League final for the first time since 2015, they will take on Real Valladolid in La Liga on Saturday, May 3. Flick's troops currently hold a healthy four-point lead over rivals Real Madrid at the top of the league table.  </p>
