Injured Lewandowski 'would need six to eight weeks to heal completely'

Lewandowski got injured at the 36th minute of last night's game, played through injury for the rest of the game scoring one goal and assisting two. 

According to the club, Lewy (10 days immobilization with plaster) should be out for around four weeks. Is this realistic?

The Berlin sports-orthopedist: "A fracture of the shin bone takes about six to eight weeks to heal completely. After targeted diagnostics by means of X-rays and magnetic resonance control and a corresponding follow-up check, the increasing repair of the bone, the ossification, is monitored."

"If pain-free training is possible after four weeks with X-ray diagnostics, Lewandowski can play. However, since the healing process differs individually, work can only start one or two weeks later."
