Football, Flick: "Lewandowski's recovery is progressing better than expected"

Turin, May 2 (LaPresse) – "Lewandowski's recovery is progressing better than expected. We know he is very professional, we just need to wait and proceed step by step," said Barcelona coach Hansi Flick. He does not rule out the possibility of the Polish forward being included in the squad for the upcoming Champions League semi-final return leg against Inter, scheduled for Tuesday at San Siro. "He is on the right track, but we have to wait and see how things evolve day by day," Flick added ahead of the league match against Valladolid, who are at the bottom of the table and already relegated, discussing the potential return of other injured players such as Alejandro Balde and Marc Casadò. Certain, however, is the return of Marc André Ter Stegen in goal after 222 days out due to an injury he sustained on September 22 against Villarreal. "It’s positive that goalkeepers have some time to recover. Marc is on the right track, at a good level, I can see that from his training," explained the German coach. "Will the rotation with Szczesny continue? I don't think I will change anything for the end of the season. Marc will play tomorrow, and if something changes later, I don’t know. We live in the present."
