Barcelona will be without Robert Lewandowski for their clash against Como for the Joan Gamper Trophy after picking up a hamstring injury.
The LaLiga champions also confirmed that Dani Olmo trained separately to the rest of the group due to a “small physical issue”, with Ferran Torres also a doubt.
It leaves Hansi Flick with few options to lead his line on Sunday, with on-loan Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford a potential replacement.
Lewandowski’s injury comes in the same area that forced him to miss Barcelona’s Copa del Rey triumph over rivals Real Madrid back in April.
The 36-year-old finished as the Blaugrana’s top scorer in 2024-25 after netting 42 games across all competitions.

He also played 52 times last season, a tally only bettered by Pedri (59), Raphinha (57), Pau Cubarsi (56), Lamine Yamal (55) and Jules Kounde (53).
“The first team player Robert Lewandowski has a hamstring problem in his left thigh,” Barcelona said in a statement on Friday.
“The striker is unavailable for Sunday’s game and his recovery will determine his return.”
Barcelona’s clash with Cesc Fabregas’ side is their final pre-season outing before their opening LaLiga fixture against Mallorca on August 16.
