Bayern confirm Lewandowski has been ruled out for four weeks after suffering a knee injury against Chelsea on Tuesday.
Lewandowski partially fractured the tibial edge in his left knee joint during the 3-0 Champions League win over Chelsea on Tuesday night, and will likely miss the return leg as a result.
However, Bayern will be confident of finishing the job off next month to book their spot in the Champions League quarter-final, with a 3-0 advantage.
The Poland international will also miss the DFB-Pokal quarter-final with Schalke, as well as a number of Bundesliga games.
He could return after the next international break, with Bayern set to face Borussia Dortmund in a potential title shoot-out on April 4.
Bayern lead RB Leipzig by one point at the top of the table, with Dortmund three points further back.
Bayern's statement
Robert Lewandowski suffered a fracture of the shin edge at the left knee joint in Bayern's 3-0 win at Chelsea yesterday.
This was the result of an in-depth examination by Bavaria doctor Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt after returning from London this Wednesday.
After ten days of plaster immobilization, the build-up training begins. The total downtime will be around four weeks.
Where is the shin edge? (See below but not Lewandowski's diagnose)

I love all the support in the comments, people understand the stress you have, when you could break Gerd's records, Ronaldo's CL records, get top scorers, it does make me extremely sad that he's injured, I really hope he comes back stronger
