Milik underwent surgery, Swiderski with a sprained ankle. There Poland he no longer wants any losses, especially in the offensive department and after having risked losing Robert Lewandowski in yesterday’s friendly match against Turkey, coach Probierz made a decision.
According to what I learned from Sports World, the striker of Barcelona and the red and white national team will miss his debut at the European Championships against the Netherlands in Hamburg, set for Sunday 16 June (3pm). The striker left the pitch against Montella’s team even before the final whistle of the first half due to a muscle problem. The injury is not serious, the Polish coach also confirmed this: “he has a minimal injury. Let’s hope there are no problems”. As well as the medical tests carried out today.
Plan. Forced forfeit for the 35-year-old striker in the opening match of Euro2024. But if there are no repercussions, Poland expects to be able to field him in the subsequent matches of group D. His return could take place as early as against Austria, on Friday 21 June (6pm), or against France on Tuesday 25 June (6pm).
