Barcelona boss Hansi Flick provides Robert Lewandowski & Pau Cubarsi fitness updates ahead of potential title-clinching clash with Espanyol

<p>Barcelona head coach Flick provided the latest updates regarding the fitness of Lewandowski and Cubarsi during a press conference on Wednesday, confirming that the duo will be available for his side's potential title-clinching clash against local rivals Espanyol on Thursday. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lewandowski suffered a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/robert-lewandowski-picks-up-injury-celta-vigo-draw-hansi-flick-side-suffer-double-blow-la-liga-title-race/blt426aca00854532a7" target="_blank">muscle injury during Barcelona's 4-3 win over Celta Vigo</a> last month, which saw him miss five games, including the Copa del Rey final as well as the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Inter. However, he returned to action as a second-half substitute in the second leg against the Nerazzurri. He was an unused substitute against Real Madrid in their league Clasico on May 11, raising doubts over his fitness. Cubarsi, on the other hand, suffered a minor injury scare following a strong challenge from Lewandowski in training. </p>

<p>Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Flick provided an update on Cubarsi's fitness (h/t <a href="https://barcauniversal.com/flick-talks-cubarsi-lewandowski-araujo-christensen-ancelotti-renewal-ahead-of-espanyol-vs-barcelona/" target="_blank">Barca Universal</a>): “He’s fine. He has finished training after the knock and tomorrow he can play.” </p><p>The reporters also asked about Lewandowski's availability, with Flick set to miss out on the services of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ferran-torres-emergency-surgery-ahead-barcelona-espanyol-look-wrap-up-la-liga-title/blta458968e2d757080" target="_blank">Ferran Torres after the Spaniard underwent an emergency appendectomy surgery</a> on Wednesday. The German manager added: "[Lewandowski's] fine and he's ready to play."</p>
