Barcelona star reveals when Wojciech Szczęsny will be ready to play | OneFootball

Barcelona star Robert Lewandowski has on Monday provided an insight into the efforts of new teammate Wojciech Szczęsny to recover full fitness.

This of course comes goalkeeper Szczęsny was last week unveiled as a new Barcelona player.

Sought out as a needed reinforcement on the back of the long-term injury suffered by Marc-André ter Stegen, the 34-year-old put pen to paper on terms in Catalunya’s capital through the summer of 2025.

In linking up with Hansi Flick’s Barca, Szczęsny brought a close to what was a short-lived retirement, after calling time on his career at the end of last season.

This means that the Pole did not enjoy a pre-season like the rest of the Blaugrana’s squad, lacking somewhat in match sharpness as a result.

One individual in no doubt that Szczęsny will soon be ready to contribute in a competitive setting, though, comes in the form of the aforementioned Robert Lewandowski.

Speaking to the media whilst on international duty on Monday, frontman Lewandowski was asked for the latest on his compatriot’s fitness.

And the former Bayern Munich standout, as cited by Diario Sport, went on to assure:

“He has gained some freshness in his temporary retirement and two weeks of training will be enough for him. He is fresh and trains calmly. I am sure he will help this team many times.”
