Lewandowsk­i may yet feature

-

– Bayern Munich’s director of sport Matthias Sammer said yesterday Robert Lewandowsk­i himself will decide whether he plays against Barcelona in Wednesday’s Champions League semifinal with a broken cheekbone.

“It will be decided by the doctors, the player himself and whether he can play with the mask,” Sammer told German broadcaste­r ZDF.

“One thing is clear. No player in the world is so important that you put his health at risk.”

The 26-year-old Lewandowsk­i, the champions’ top-scorer with 23 goals, sat out Bayern’s 2- 0 league defeat at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday. –
