Ready to play. Lewandowski returns to Barcelona squad after injury

Barcelona has officially announced their squad for the La Liga clash against Athletic. The Catalan side's striker, Robert Lewandowski, is included in the list for the upcoming fixture.

It's worth noting that in the previous round, the Pole suffered a fracture to his left eye socket. Due to the injury, he missed the Copa del Rey return leg against Atletico Madrid, but his recovery was surprisingly swift. By Wednesday, he was already back in training with the team, working out in a special protective mask. Ahead of Saturday's match, the club's medical staff cleared the forward to return to the pitch.
