Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski is set to return to action in tomorrow's Spanish La Liga match against Espanyol, with manager Hansi Flick saying his side is prepared to wrap up the title this week.

A victory in their city derby against Espanyol would clinch the championship for the Catalans.

Barcelona is seven points clear at the top with 82 points.

The Polish striker missed Barca's last three league games and was also absent from their 3-2 Copa del Rey final win over Real Madrid on April 27th due to a muscle injury.

The 36-year-old has scored 25 goals in 31 league games, two behind Kylian Mbappe in the La Liga Golden Boot race, with both having played the same number of matches.

Flick told reporters yesterday that Lewandowski is doing good and he is ready to play.

Lewandowski featured for only 30 minutes in their Champions League semi-final second-leg defeat by Inter Milan last week and missed their 4-3 home win against Real Madrid on Sunday.

Barcelona will face Espanyol at 7.30am tomorrow.

Looking at the matches this morning, Villarreal beat Leganes 3-0 and Real Madrid defeated Mallorca 2-1.
