“Yesterday I woke up and I couldn’t walk, but I tried to play without any problems. We work together with the physios. It’s part of football. I always try to be there for my teammates.
“The good thing is that I will be fine in the next game. I have to play better on the field, but that kick from Militao went out of my body badly.’
Lewandowski was deemed fit enough to start for the Catalan giants in their 0-0 draw with Girona in La Liga on Monday night.
The 34-year-old played through immense pain in Barcelona’s most recent league game and was unable to walk the following morning.
His performance against Girona drew criticism from fans and pundits as table captain Barcelona dropped points for the fifth time this season in La Liga.
Lewandowski himself was also critical of his performance in the last two games, citing the need to improve on his recent Barça performances.
‘Bobek’ claims he will be fit in time to face Getafe on Sunday afternoon when he will look for the net for the first time in three appearances.
