Pedri, Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha are all sidelined and will not be available until after the international break at the earliest.
Lewandowski was forced off in the 34th minute of Barça’s 1-0 victory in Porto after hurting his ankle after a challenge from David Carmo.
Barça coach Xavi Hernandez had initially hoped Lewandowski might recover in time for Sunday’s LaLiga game against Granada.
