Poland will be facing the Netherlands in their Euro 2024 opener without their star player, Robert Lewandowski. The striker, who is the top scorer in Poland’s history with 82 goals, suffered a hamstring injury in a friendly match. Despite his absence, Poland remains confident in their ability to secure a victory.
In addition to Lewandowski, Poland will also be missing Karol Swiderski and Arkadiusz Milik due to injuries. Zielinski, who will be wearing the captain’s armband in Lewandowski’s absence, expressed disappointment in not having the world-class player on the field but emphasized that the team has what it takes to win.
The team’s qualification journey was not as smooth as they had hoped, but they are determined to make the most of their opportunity in the tournament. Manager Probiertz acknowledged the absence of Lewandowski but highlighted the need for the team to step up and deliver a strong performance against the Netherlands.
Looking ahead, Lewandowski is expected to potentially feature in Poland’s matches against Austria and France. Despite the challenges they face, the team is focused on making a statement in the tournament and proving their critics wrong. The players are ready to fight for each other and show their determination on the field.
As they prepare to take on tough opponents in Group D, Poland is ready to embrace the challenge and showcase their resilience. The absence of Lewandowski may be a setback, but it has only fueled the team’s determination to succeed. With a strong sense of unity and purpose, Poland is gearing up for an exciting start to their Euro 2024 campaign.
